Identification and Verification of Tumor Immune Microenvironment-Related Prognostic Genes in Kidney Renal Clear Cell Carcinoma

Figure 2

WGCNA analysis of KIRC data. (a) Analysis of scale-free index for various soft-threshold powers and mean connectivity for various soft thresholding powers. (b) Dendrogram of top 5000 high deviation genes clustered based on the TOM. Each branch represents a single gene; each color indicates a single module that contains weighted coexpressed genes. (c) Clustering of 16 module eigengenes. The merging threshold was shown as the red line. (d) Heatmap of the correlations between gene modules and stage, grade, immune score, and estimate score. ME green/yellow and ME tan modules were chosen for further analysis. (e, f) Gene correlation scatter plots for the green/yellow and tan module.
