Transcriptome Classification Reveals Molecular Subgroups in Patients with Hepatitis B Virus

Figure 4

Subgroup C2 preserves a higher liver functionality than C1 and C3. (a) The liver-specifically expressed genes were highly enriched in C2 vs. C1 and C3 highly expressed gene. (b) Liver index was significantly higher in the C2 group than in the C1 and C3 groups, and the liver index of the C3 group was the lowest. Liver index was also highly negatively correlated with (c) fibrosis and (d) inflammation levels.
