Construction of weighted gene coexpression network and identification of module related to IDD. (a) Sample cluster analysis identified the outlier samples in the GSE150408 dataset. (b) Determination of the optimal soft threshold to conform to the scale-free distribution. (c) Dendrogram of genes clustered based on the highly correlated eigengenes (correlation above 0.3). (d) Heatmap of the correlation between module eigengenes and clinical traits.
