The genes that were commonly shared by both DIABLO and cytoHubba (P2RY6, SPTBN5, BoLA-DOA, CIITA, GNA11, ENSBTAG0000003367, ENSBTAG0000003408, HIP1, LAPTM4A, FCRL5) were then submitted to a ROC analysis resulted in having excellent prediction performances in terms of discriminating healthy and mastitis animals with sensitivity > 0.89, specificity > 0.81, accuracy > 0.87 and precision > 0.69. Here, FCRL5 is linked to mastitis.
