Clustering outcomes for the 1372-probe set signature.

For each progression marker, probe sets have been ordered according to their Spearman’s rank correlation with the progression marker. Gene symbols in boldface indicate that they were previously discussed in [5] and gene symbols with underlined boldface represent the cases for which a putative relationship exists in the published literature between the gene and AD.

针对每一种进展标志物（progression marker），所有探针集（probe sets）均已依据其与该进展标志物的斯皮尔曼等级相关系数（Spearman’s rank correlation）完成排序。其中，以粗体标注的基因符号（gene symbols）代表此前已在文献[5]中被讨论的基因；以粗体下划线标注的基因符号，则表示在已发表文献中该基因与阿尔茨海默病（Alzheimer's Disease, AD）存在推定关联的基因。
