A gene co-expression network merging maternal PTB and BPD of preterm infant. In a and b , oval nodes represent PTB-related genes predicted from GWAS using the 1744 born embryo samples, rectangle nodes refer to the 50 top PTB markers summarized from previously studies (Additional file 1 : Table S7), involving immune or inflammation (blue), apoptosis (yellow), angiogenesis (green), coagulation (purple), and other biological processes (gray). Co-expressive edges (the Pearson correlation p -value < 0.01) linking nodes represent maternal (red), infant (blue), and both maternal and infant (black).
