Whole blood transcriptome in pediatric TBM cases and IGRA-negative controls. a Principal component analysis on 2230 differentially expressed genes between TBM and healthy controls. b Deconvolution analysis revealed the in silico cellular composition of whole blood RNA. c Ingenuity canonical pathways overrepresented by differentially expressed genes are shown. The z-score indicates whether the pathway was upregulated (red) or downregulated (blue) in TBM. d Inflammasome signaling pathway is depicted. Molecules colored in red were significantly upregulated in TBM, compared to the controls. e T-cell activation pathway is shown. Molecules colored in blue were significantly downregulated in TBM, relative to the healthy controls
