Dendrogram of shortlisted 51 genes. Supervised two-dimensional hierarchical clustering based on average linkage uncentered correlation of emphysema samples using microarray expression data of the 51 genes represented in Spira and Golpon platforms chosen for qRT-PCR validation on TPCH training set. Each column represents a sample and each row represents a gene. Mild emphysema samples are indicated by the blue bar and moderate emphysema samples are indicated by the orange bar. Heatmap indicates level of gene expression, red, high expression, green, low expression in moderate compared to mild emphysema severity.
