The FTD-genes (with corresponding Affymetrix IDs) are listed. Co-expression modules for the FTD-genes and their relevance within modules are displayed. Sz = size, i.e. number of transcripts contained in the module; MM = module membership; 1-q = 1-quantile of MM. The bolded parts highlight the fact that WGCNA indicated the following: 1) (MAPT and GRN), (HLA-DRA and CTSC), (C9orf72, VCP, UBQLN2 and OPTN) and (2 FUS) transcripts were respectively present in the same modules in frontal cortex, and; 2) (HLA-DRA and CTSC), (C9orf72, VCP and UBQLN2) and (FUS and TARDBP) transcripts were respectively present in the same modules in temporal cortex. The modules containing (HLA-DRA and CTSC) and (C9orf72, VCP, UBQLN2 [and OPTN]) were significantly enriched for FTD transcripts
