Extended Data Fig. 3: Gene expression in whole blood, brain, heart, kidney, spleen, and adipose tissue of genes coding for dementia-associated proteins.
From: Large-scale plasma proteomic analysis identifies proteins and pathways associated with dementia risk
Using gene expression data available from postmortem samples in the GTEx database, this heatmap shows the expression of genes coding for dementia-associated proteins (in transcripts per million) in whole blood, select brain regions, and other selected tissue. Hierarchical cluster analysis was used to group dementia-associated proteins based on gene expression across multiple tissues.
