Differential expression of IL13RA1 in cancer of the vulva.
Keyword(s):
In these brief notes we document work using published microarray data (1, 2) to pioneer integrative transcriptome analysis comparing vulvar carcinoma to its tissue of origin, the vulva. We report the differential expression of interleukin 13 receptor subunit alpha 1, encoded by IL13RA1, in cancer of the vulva. IL13RA1 may be of pertinence to understanding transformation and disease progression in vulvar cancer (3).
