Seven hundred twenty-two genes represented on the Affymetrix microarray, previously annotated by the Genome Organization (GO) and categorized into 15 different functional clusters, were analyzed by ANOVA. S-score values of repeated developmental (Dev), epileptogenic (Epil), or control (Con) comparisons were analyzed to identify clusters with significant differences among the three groups (p< 0.05) as shown above (n = number of genes in cluster). Scheffe's post hoc analysis indicates significant intragroup differences and respective p values. Other clusters analyzed that did not demonstrate significant differences were apoptosis (n = 25), cell cycle (n = 20), differentiation (n = 18), G-protein signaling (n = 15), metabolism (n = 72), neuropeptides (n = 10), signaling (n = 93), and transcription (n = 70).
ANOVA:
F2-159: p < 0.0005,
F2-214: p < 0.005,
p < 0.05.
