From: Integrating age, BMI, and serum N-glycans detected by MALDI mass spectrometry to classify suspicious mammogram findings as benign lesions or breast cancer

Figure 4

Correlation of serum N-glycan intensities with the patient age and BMI. The patient BMI and the intensities of both (a) 1501.529 m/z (A2G1) and (b) 2778.944 m/z (A3G3F1S2) N-glycans, but the 2778.944 m/z N-glycan and BMI association diverged for benign and cancer samples in the patients with a BMI from 20 to 30. The patient age and the intensities of both (c) 1809.639 m/z (A2G2F1) and (d) 1688.613 m/z (A2BF1) N-glycans were significantly associated, but the 1688.613 m/z N-glycan and age association diverged for benign and cancer samples in the older patients. N-glycan compositions are represented by blue squares for N-acetylglucosamine, green circles for mannose, yellow circles for galactose, purple diamonds for sialic acid, and red triangles for fucose.
