Figure 3From: Alternative ion channel splicing in mesial temporal lobe epilepsy and Alzheimer's diseasePrincipal component analysis of ion channel splice variant expression patterns for all experimental groups. (a) Colors separate groups based on statistical clustering (k-means clustering) of individuals with similar patterns of ion channel splicing. (b) Colors separate groups based on disease state and brain structure: control TC (blue), mTLE NC (red), AD TC (green), control CB (black), AD CB (yellow). The first principal component explains 43% of the variation in log expression ratios, while the second principal component accounts for 13% of the variation. Separation of clusters along principal components 1 and 2 is, to a large extent, governed by brain structure and disease state.Back to article page
