Most enriched gene network of protein-coding genes with altered expression in stromal cells. Ingenuity Pathways Analysis identified that the top most significantly enriched (p <0.001) functions of genes in this network were related to cell morphology, cellular compromise and neurological disease. Gene color intensity indicates the degree of up-regulation (red) or of down-regulation (green) in stromal cells of MDS-RARS patients in comparison to healthy individuals. Genes in gray were not identified as differentially expressed in our experiment and white genes were either not detected as expressed in these cells or not present in our oligoarray platform. Solid lines indicate direct interaction and dashed lines indirect interactions.
