In our previous studies (1) 12 twin pairs analyzed (gut microbial profiling) using PLS-DA showed highly significant correlations between pairs ( 53 ) and (2) examination of 136 samples from 32 patients ( n = 20 NEC or LOS) showed significant differences ( p = 0.002) in microbiomic patterns between diseased and healthy individuals ( 24 ).
