COPD and anemia are connected at the molecular level. The network represents the association between both diseases and proteins (thin edges) and the association between the proteins (thick edges). We show in green the proteins that are directly associated to both COPD and anemia (SOD2, TP53 and TNF). The pink and lila nodes are proteins associated to COPD or anemia, respectively, but also serve as bridges between both diseases because these proteins interact within the interactome.
