Fig 1: Differential gene expression and co-expression patterns of EM-risk genes in PBMCs of women with ovarian EM and health controls based on RNA-Seq. (A-G) Violin plots showing significantly different expressed genes between EM and controls for TOP3A (A), MKNK1 (B), SIPA1L2 (C), NUCB1 (D), HOXB2 (E), GIMAP5 (F), and MGMT (G). (H) Co-expression pattern analysis of 14 EM-risk genes between controls and EM. The colour legend showing the degree of correlation coefficients, red represents − 1 and blue represents + 1. PBMC, peripheral blood mononuclear cell. EM, endometriosis.
