Identification of Hub Genes in Liver Hepatocellular Carcinoma Based on Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC) is a malignant cancer with high incidence and poor prognosis. To investigate the correlation between hub genes and progression of LIHC and to provided potential prognostic markers and therapy targets for LIHC. Our study mainly used The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) LIHC database and the gene expression profiles of GSE54236 from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) to explore the differential co-expression genes between LIHC and normal tissues. The differential co-expression genes were extracted by Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) and differential gene expression analysis methods. The Genetic Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) were carried out to annotate the function of differential genes. Then the hub genes
