The expression patterns and biological function of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in NEC. (a) The heat map displayed the expression patterns of the DEGs. A set of genes encoding immunoglobulin was highly upregulated in some of the NEC samples. (b) The Reactome pathways dysregulated in NEC. The pathways were enriched by the DEGs based on overrepresentation gene set enrichment analysis.
