This study is aimed at investigating lung diseases described by common pathomechanisms based on evaluation of gene expression profiles in molecular pathways. 16 datasets containing 428 samples for 22 health conditions were taken from Gene Expression Omnibus. Self organizing maps (Wirth, H. et al.BMC Bioinformatics 2011;12:306) and cluster analysis with dynamic tree cut were used for gene expression based disease clustering. In-house pathway signal flow algorithm and phylogenetic analysis were applied to find common pathway deregulation patterns in clusters.
Analysis resulted in grouping the 22 conditions into 5 clusters (fig.1). PSF and phylogenetic analysis identified unique pathway deregulation patterns for each cluster (fig.2).
