  1. Functions within the BRITE hierarchy were tested for enrichment, using the cumulative hypergeometric test, for genes that were strongly correlated with AGS (Pearson q < 1e-5). This was performed separately for genes that were positively correlated and genes that were negatively correlated. Listed are the most significant results from this analysis.
