Table 2 Enriched Pathways Significantly Altered during Recovery from Form-deprivation (FDMR). GSEA was used to identify pathways (KEGG, Reactome, STKE and PID) significantly altered between recovery time-points 6 h and 24 h, compared to 0 h using the Signal2Noise metric. Gene expression changes at 6 h compared to 0 h were associated with suppression in cone receptor phototransduction. The period between 6 and 24 h post occluder removal was mainly associated with changes in mitochondrial metabolism and other metabolic pathways. Pathways significantly altered after 24 h recovery compared to 0 h involves a range of cellular processes. ES, enrichment score; NES, normalised enrichment score; FDR, false discovery rate.

From: RNA-seq and GSEA identifies suppression of ligand-gated chloride efflux channels as the major gene pathway contributing to form deprivation myopia
