  1. Large co-expression modules (>25 gene member) showing strong significant correlation (r > + or – 0.4, p <0.05 and FDR < 0.05) with insulin sensitivity (SI) or other OGTT- and FSIVGT-derived glucose homeostasis traits in African Americans are shown. Correlation and significance of each module eigengenes with glucose homeostasis and other metabolic traits are shown. *gene showing highest TOM-based intramodular connectivity (to.in.norm), #top selected SI-associated genes shown (if direction matched with eigengene).
