Expression and Correlation Heatmap of Key Hub Genes. (A) Boxplot displaying the differential key genes expression between control and PC tissues. Red represents control samples, and blue represents PC tissues. ***p < 0.001, **p < 0.01, *p < 0.05. (B) Heatmap depicting the expression profiles of significantly differentially expressed genes in control vs. PC specimens. The color gradient from red to blue represents high to low expression levels. (C) Chromosomal distribution of the differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Each bar indicates the number and position of DEGs mapped to specific chromosomal regions, providing a genomic overview of their spatial organization. (D) Chord diagram displaying pairwise correlations among selected DEGs. The color of the connecting ribbons represents the direction and strength of correlation: red indicates strong positive correlation (approaching + 1), and green indicates strong negative correlation (approaching − 1). (E) Gene-gene correlation heatmap, with red representing strong positive correlations and blue showing negative associations.
