R help - Nov 2010 - correlation of single variable with multiple variables

Hi R people

Does it make any sense if I calculate correlation of single variable with
multiple variables?

For ex:
gene_exp  sample1  sample2  sample3
gene1_exp  10  100  200
gene2_exp  200  100  10
gene3_exp  5  0  10

I would like to test whether gene3_exp values correlating with the changes
in gene1_exp and gene2_exp values [in sample1,2 and 3 ].

Your comments would be appreciated!
