Expression Profiling of Genes Related to Endothelial Cells Biology in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes and Patients with Prediabetes

Figure 2

Relative expression comparison for 84 endothelial cells-related gene between cases groups and control group. Volcano plot analysis applied to the PCR Array data revealed 63 genes significantly expressed ( with FC ≥ 1 (up or down)) in diabetic patients (a) and 51 genes significantly expressed ( with FC ≥ 1 (up or down)) in prediabetic patients (b) compared to healthy individuals. The plot shows a log 2-fold change in gene expression between the two groups on the -axis and the negative log of -test values on the -axis. Each gene is represented by a single point.
