Figure 1.

Heatmap showing correlation coefficients between clinical variables and gene modules labeled on the x and y axes. Cell colors range from blue to red, indicating negative to positive correlations, respectively. Notable correlations include “MEpink” with “mlept” at 1.00 and “MElightcyan” with “bwt” at -0.99, each with p-values indicated.

Coding gene modules-metabolic traits correlations in placentas from pregnancies affected by obesity. Using Whole Genome Correlations Network Analysis (WGCNA), we established correlations between placental coding-genes with similar patterns of expression (Modules) with metabolic traits of the Maternal-Fetal dyad. Each correlation contains a coefficient of correlation and a (p-value). Red correlations are positive, Blue correlations are negative. Highlighted RED: significant positive correlations; Highlighted Blue: significant (p <0.05) negative correlations. cbFFA, cord blood Fatty-Acids; cblep cord blood leptin; neoadp, neonatal adiposity; bwt, birth weight; mffa, Maternal Free Fatty-Acids; mlep, Maternal Leptin; preBMI, Maternal Pre-pregnancy BMI.
