WGCNA of DEGs and identification of hub genes. (A) Scale independence. (B) Average connectivity. (C) Numbers of genes in the nine modules. (D) Clustering dendrogram of 578 samples. Black color represents ‘tumor’ for the variable ‘tumor-normal’; ‘Female’ or ‘Male’ for the variable ‘gender’; and ‘Stage I’, ‘Stage II’, ‘Stage III’, and ‘Stage IV’ for the variable ‘stage’. (E) Dendrogram. Each branch represents a gene, and each color represents a co-expression module.
