The Correlation of HK2 Gene Expression with the Occurrence, Immune Cell Infiltration, and Prognosis of Renal Cell Carcinoma

Figure 5

HK2 expression was correlated with the level of immune marker genes in RCC patients. (a) Hazard ratios for RCC patients with high expression of HK2 and low expression of HK2 were defined by the CIBERSORT value. Boxes represent hazard ratios, and vertical lines are 95% confidence intervals. (b) The bar plot of the top of the heat map indicates HK2 mRNA expression levels. The colors on the bar indicate the HK2 copy number status. The bar plot on the right represents the negative log10 of the Wilcoxon signed-rank test value of individual immune checkpoint receptors. The expression levels are log2 transformed and mean normalized.
