Table 2. Top 20 and phenotype reflecting enriched biological processes.

The enriched biological processes, ranked based on NES and FDR value, are shown. The enriched biological processes, detected by the GSEA analysis, were statistically significant (no asterisk: FDR < 0.0001, *: FDR < 0.05 and **: FDR < 0.01). The phenotype reflecting enriched biological processes are shown under dashed-line ‡: Full name is provided in Data S2.
