Figure 4. Age-dependent islet genes are enriched for genes linked to diabetes and related metabolic traits.
(A) Box plots displaying normalized transcript counts of TFs whose expression changes significantly with age (except for MAFB) in human α- or β-cells, (n=5 juvenile, n=5 adult). (B) RNA-Seq profiles of α- and β-cells from juvenile and adult samples highlighting the PCSK1 and lncPCSK1-1 locus. (C) Matrix indicating the overlap of age-dependent genes and GWAS genes linked to diabetes and associated metabolic traits (* Chi-square test with Yates' correction).
