Figure 2

Venn Diagram of Individual Group Comparisons Among the Three Sample Groups. Each of the circles depicts the number of different transcripts based on a binary comparison for each of the labeled sample groups (green, orange, blue) from among the 959 transcripts identified as statistically significant in the study (SAM). Overlapping differences shared among more than one sample group comparison are represented in the areas of intersection between 2 circles. The 131 transcripts in the center of the Venn Diagram represents genes that are different among all group comparisons. The number of transcripts in the carpal tunnel comparisons (622) far exceeded those in the palmar fascia (55) and Dupuytren (120) comparisons
