Correlation between aging and postnatal growth (aging genes)

Gene set analyzed: non-immune-related genes that showed significant change (P < 0.0077, FDR < 10%, ≥1.5 -fold) from 3 to 15 mo in liver (n=531)
Comparison between:			Pearson’s Correlation	Spearman’s Correlation
Liver, 3 to 15 mo	vs	Heart, 1 to 4wk	r = 0.10	ρ = 0.10
			P = 0.02	P = 0.02
		Kidney, 1 to 8wk	r = 0.13	ρ = 0.13
			P = 0.003	P = 0.003
		Lung, 1 to 8wk	r = 0.10	ρ = 0.08
			P = 0.03	P = 0.06 (not significant)
