WGCNA-Based Identification of Hub Genes and Key Pathways Involved in Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

Figure 4

Common hub genes of the steelblue module identified by WGCNA and Cytoscape. (a) 176 genes of steelblue module were imported into STRING database to construct PPI network. The nodes indicated proteins; the edges indicated the interaction of proteins. (b) 30 hub genes were identified by degree method of plug-in cytoHubba in Cytoscape. (c) Selection of real hub genes in PPI network and coexpression network.
