Correlation between maternal peripheral blood and neonatal cord blood. The SMN spot analysis data for maternal peripheral blood and neonatal cord blood shown in Table 2 are presented as scatter plots to examine the correlation between mothers and children. For each data point, the deviation from the median of the group to which it belongs is shown based on the standard deviation (Z-score), and mother-neonate pairs were compared. The x-axis shows the Z-score of neonatal cord blood. The y-axis shows the Z-score of maternal peripheral blood. Correlation analysis is described in the Discussion section
