Identification of Hub Genes Associated with Nonspecific Orbital Inflammation by Weighted Gene Coexpression Network Analysis

Figure 2

Identification of key modules based on WGCNA: (a) analysis of the scale-free topology model fit index for soft threshold powers () and the mean connectivity for soft threshold powers. (A) Displays the influence of soft-thresholding power (-axis) on a scale-free fit index (-axis). (B) Shows the influence of soft-thresholding power (-axis) on mean connectivity (degree, -axis). The approximate scale-free topology can be attained at the soft-thresholding power of 8. (b) A cluster dendrogram was built based on the dissimilarity of the topological overlap, together with assigned module colors. (c) Heatmaps of the plot of the adjacencies in the hub gene network include the trait weight. (d) The scatter plots of gene significance (GS) versus Module Membership (MM) of MEturquoise and MEblue.
