Figure 1. Overview of predicted interactions in network A.
Protein-protein interactions in this network originates from predicted genetic interactions between the HLA-region on chromosome 6 (BAT1, ITPR3, RPS18 and TUBB) and chromosomal regions on chromosome 2 (around D2S177, HNRPL), chromosome 13 (D13S170, LMO7), chromosome 4 (D4S403, WDR1) and chromosome 16 (D16S287, RPS15A), respectively. The ELF5 gene is positioned on chromosome 11. Red arrows and corresponding plots refer to four genes that were demonstrated significantly down-regulated in human pancreatic islets upon cytokine-stimulation. In the plots nodes to the left represent expression levels for all nine donors in un-stimulated condition, whereas nodes to the right represent cytokine-stimulated expression levels.
