Figure 3. Effect of delivery-specific variables on placental gene expression.
A heat map is shown demonstrating the effect of four delivery-specific variables on placental DEGs: (A) epidural anesthesia (yes vs. no), (B) spinal anesthesia (yes vs. no), (C) labor duration (low-median vs high), and (D) mode of delivery (vaginal vs. cesarean) with FDR < 0.1. Heatmaps were constructed using log2 expression levels. The numbers to the left shows the log2 fold change value (log2FC) between groups. Samples are shown at the bottom of the figure, controls (yellow [CTR]), GDM (purple), and PE (red).
