Genes significantly regulated in diabetes relative to control were analyzed with the DAVID Functional Annotation Clustering. The table lists the top five nonredundant functional clusters and the median P value of each member of the cluster. The enrichment P value is the probability of finding as many regulated genes in a functional category as were observed, calculated using Fisher’s exact test. Because DAVID clusters annotation from over 40 different sources, including GO, KEGG, and Swiss-prot, the median P value from each cluster was used to rank its relative significance.
