From: Characterization of the unique oral microbiome of children with Down syndrome
PERMANOVA analysis of β-diversity in the Down syndrome (DS) and control (Cont) groups. Comparisons between the two groups were made for (a) all participants, (b) dentition stage (mixed, permanent and primary), and (c) gingival inflammation status. The contribution rate of each Axis (1–3) in the principal coordinate analysis is shown in parentheses. In this analysis, Axis 1 (3.03%) + Axis 2 (5.17%) + Axis 3 (2.55%) = 10.75%, which is considered to reflect approximately 10% of all of the information. *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01 by PERMANOVA analysis of the unweighted UniFrac distance.
