Identification of DEGs. (A,B) Venn diagram showing a total of 637 DEGs identified by cross-validated comparisons, including 176 downregulated genes (A) and 461 upregulated genes (B). The screening criteria for DEGs was set as | log FC| > 1 and FDR (adjusted P-value) < 0.05 in all four comparisons. (C) Principal component plots of the 637 DEGs showing an overlap between samples from each of the HN or control groups and separation between disease and control in the expression profiles after batch-effect removal. (D) Principal component plot of the 637 DEGs showing a separation between samples from the HN group or control group in independent external dataset GSE99325. DEGs, differentially expressed genes; FC, fold change; FDR, false discovery rate; GSE, Gene Expression Omnibus Series; HN, hypertensive nephropathy; ME, module eigengene.
