Gene signature
A gene signature is the group of genes in a type of cell whose combined expression pattern[1] is uniquely characteristic of a medical or other condition.[2] Ideally, the gene signature can be used to select a group of patients[3] at a specific state of a disease with accuracy that facilitates selection of treatments.[4][5]
