Abstract

For gene expression in non-cancerous complex diseases, we systemically evaluated the sensitivities of biological discoveries to violation of the common normalization assumption. Our results indicated that gene expression may be widely up-regulated in digestive system and musculoskeletal diseases. However, global signal intensities showed little difference in other four disease types.
