  1. A Benjamini-Hochberg (BH) adjusted p-value (padj) of ≤ 0.1 was considered significant. Trends validated in additional WB-samples for similar group-comparison are marked with . Similar trends validated but for other group-comparison (both breeds included for sex-comparison, and only HCM-affected cats compared for breed), are marked with . Trends of validation results that are significant are marked with *. FC = fold change; NFO = Norwegian Forest cat.
