Impact of age on viral-related infectivity gene expression throughout the menstrual cycle. (A) Effect of age on ACE2 expression. Gene expression is represented for ACE2 in each phase of the cycle according to the age of the sample analyzed. The range of age from patients involved in this study was 23 to 50 years. (B) Effect of age on viral gene expression. Pearson correlation R2 values are shown for each gene studied through of the phases of the menstrual cycle. Gray scale represents the magnitude of the correlation of increase or decrease in expression with age. High values are colored darker, and low values are colored lighter. ESE = early secretory endometrium; LSE = late secretory endometrium; MSE = midsecretory endometrium; PF = proliferative phase.
