Shown are selected, MG-relevant identified GO categories. Expression changes were identified in adult or hyperplastic thymus (MH and ML) compared with newborns; transcript numbers (N) and the direction of changes (decrease: downward arrows; increase: upward arrows) are marked for the continuous (C) or discrete (D) analyses. A category is considered as changed if one of the statistical tests used indicated significant (P < .05) results. Note increases in signal transduction-related mechanisms, morphogenesis, cell differentiation, and specifically in lymphocyte differentiation in the thymus of MG patients compared with healthy adults.

indicates no change.
