Gene Signature

A form of gene expression profiling that is indicative of the biological behavior of a tumor or cancer. This pattern of expression is comprised of unique clusters of genes that display differential levels of expression. The technology is based on microarray analysis and allows for accurate prognostication based upon these criteria. (NCI Thesaurus)
