Network-Based Gene Expression Biomarkers for Cold and Heat Patterns of Rheumatoid Arthritis in Traditional Chinese Medicine

Figure 1

Cluster diagram of the expression of significantly expressed genes in 21 RA patients with the cold pattern, 12 RA patients with the heat pattern, and 12 healthy volunteers. Patients are indicated as vertical column headings, and gene symbols of transcripts are given in horizontal rows. Red represents a relative expression greater than the median expression level across all samples, and green represents an expression level lower than the median. (a) Significantly expressed genes between TCM cold-pattern RA patients and healthy control. (b) Significantly expressed genes between TCM heat-pattern RA patients and healthy control.
