  • Microarray analysis was used to identify 336 genes with FDR-corrected p value <0.05 and with 1.2-fold change cutoff. Note that oligodendrocyte differentiation and myelination, Wnt signaling pathway, and cytoskeleton regulation were significantly enriched as a result of oligodendroglial Apc disruption.
