Gene expression profiling of 72 lung carcinomas using Illumina HT-12 V3.0 microarrays

Lung cancer is the worldwide leading cause of death from cancer. Tobacco usage is the major pathogenic factor, however, not all lung cancers can be attributable to smoking. The genetic aberrations that differ between smokers' and never-smokers’ lung carcinomas remain to a large extent unclear. We analyzed 72 early-stage primary lung carcinomas including small cell lung cancers, adenocarcinomas and squamous cell carcinomas by Illumina HT12 gene expression microarrays.
