Network of relationships between phenotypic variables and microarray data selected within the first component of the sPLS analysis. Retained all gene-phenotypic variable pairs showing an absolute correlation score > 0.75. Related biological functions of selected genes was analyzed using IPA. Red nodes, phenotype items (blood fructose level, jejunum lactase activity and villous height); pink symbols, genes involved in lipid metabolism; orange symbols, genes involved in carbohydrate metabolism; green symbols, genes involved in cellular movement; blue symbols, other biological functions; diamond shape symbol indicates a differential expressed gene that was included in the complete model; elipse symbol indicates a differential expressed gene that was included in the additive model; triangle symbol indicates a differential expressed gene that was included in the gestational age model. sPLS, spare Partial Least Squares; IPA, Ingenuity Pathway Analysis
