Meta-analysis of gene expression disease signatures in colonic biopsy tissue from patients with ulcerative colitis

Abstract Publicly available ulcerative colitis (UC) gene expression datasets from observational studies and clinical trials include inherently heterogeneous disease characteristics and methodology. We used meta-analysis to identify a robust UC gene signature from inflamed biopsies. Eight gene expres...
