Fig. 2From: Exploring the feasibility of using long-term stored newborn dried blood spots to identify metabolic features for congenital heart disease screeningThe application of targeted metabolomics to discover CHD diagnosis and subtyping biomarker metabolites using DBS samples. (A) Volcano plots for screening significant changed metabolites associated with CHD, the metabolites with P value < 0.05 and fold change > 1.5 are marked as red dots and the metabolites with P value < 0.05 and fold change < 0.67 are marked as blue dots. (B) violin plots for three biomarker metabolites for CHD diagnosis. *: Student’s P value < 0.05, **: P value < 0.01, ***: P value < 0.001. (C) the smoothed receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC ROC) of logistic model based on three biomarkers. 95% confidence intervals are shown in grey lines. (D) the importance score of the 12 metabolites associated with CHD subtyping which have an 80% cumulative importance in total. (E) PLS-DA cluster results using 12 metabolites for CHD subtypingBack to article page
