Fig. 3. More genes were differentially expressed between PD and HC in females than males.

Fig. 3

Differential expression of genes between Parkinson disease (PD) and healthy control (HC) subjects were visualized with volcano plots in females (a) and males (b). A q-value threshold of 0.1 and a fold-change (FC) threshold of 2 (log2 FC of 1) was applied to visualization. Each individual dot represents a single gene; black dots represent genes with a non-significant q-value and |log2 FC | < 1, green dots represent genes with a non-significant q-value and |log2 FC | > 1, blue dots represent genes with a significant q-value and |log2 FC | < 1, and red dots represent genes with a significant q-value and |log2 FC | > 1. Select genes are labeled in each plot. Note that while CCL4 is both significant and has a large fold change (q-value < 0.0001, FC = −3.7) in the females, it is located outside the plotting region of the female volcano plot.
