Regarding possible correlations between inflammatory and vascular mediators associated with atherosclerosis, Acidaminococcus (0.25, FDR = 0.02) and Prevotella (0.23, FDR = 0.03) had a positive correlation with TNF‐alpha, whereas Microbacteriaceae (−0.23, FDR = 0.03) had a negative correlation (Figure 3; Table S3). The gene discussed is TNF; the disease is atherosclerosis.
