Figure 5. Distinction of patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy vs lymphocytic myocarditis based on results from quantitative realtime RT-PCR.

Figure 5

This heatmap was created with an unsupervised clustering approach based on Euclidean distance in R, using the detected gene expression levels from quantitative realtime RT-PCR as confirmatory test. Columns represent samples and rows represent genes labeled with their corresponding gene symbol. Application of the developed 13 genes molecular signature through realtime RT-PCR correctly identified all samples.
