Figure Lengend Snippet: Correlation between the genes in the LASSO model and immune cell infiltrations in type 2 diabetic islets. (a) Heatmap for the associations between hub genes and immune cell infiltrations. Red: positive correlation and blue: negative correlation. (b) Associations between BST2 expression and immune cell infiltrations. (c) Associations between BTBD1 expression and immune cell infiltrations. (d) Associations between IFIT1 expression and immune cell infiltrations. (e) Associations between IFIT3 expression and immune cell infiltrations. (f) Associations between RTP4 expression and immune cell infiltrations. The bigger the circle, the stronger the correlation.
