Table 5

Top ranking genes by Z-score (top 24 genes, this paper), by TNoM score (top 30 genes [13]1), and by differential expression in AML or in ALL (top 25 genes, [14]2). As the Z-score can give genes equal scores, a rank of 1 can be assigned to several genes. In our study 12 genes are ranked 1, in that of [13] 3 are ranked 1. The lowest place in a total ordering of the genes is indicated by figure in parenthesis, e.g. (≤12). Genes ranked in column 5 cannot appear in column 6, and vice versa, as indicated by (-). Otherwise, a blank entry indicates a ranking outside of the top 24, 25 or 30 genes respectively.
