  1. *Module membership indicates the correlation coefficient between the module eigengene and gene expression.
  2. The triglyceride modules referenced above are the brown METSIM module, the blue Finnish Twin module, and the yellow Mexican module. P-values were calculated empirically by randomly selecting the observed number of genes satisfying the module membership criteria and observing the number of overlaps occurring by chance.
