Transcriptional profiles of preterm using hierarchical clustering of differentially expressed genes based on 292 differentially regulated genes. Hierarchical clustering of differentially expressed genes of infants with and without EOI resulted in two main clusters (clusters 1 and 2). Group A genes are upregulated genes in infants with EOI and involved in neutrophil activation, T cell proliferation, hypoxia-induced signaling, and carbohydrate metabolism. Group B genes are downregulated in infants with EOI and mainly involved in NK cell activation. The group of infants with EOI could be further differentiated in a group with low expression of group A genes (EOI*) and EOI with high expression of group A genes (EOI**)
