Abstract:Background: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly lethal malignancy and its mortality continues to rise globally. Because of its high heterogeneity and complex molecular landscapes, published gene signatures have shown low specificity and robustness. Functional signatures containing a group of genes involved in similar biological functions display a more robust performance. Methods: The present study was designed to excavate potential functional signatures for PDAC by analyzing maximal number of … Show more
