In Silico Analysis of the Gene Expression Patterns between Aldosterone-Producing Adenoma and Nonfunctional Adrenocortical Adenoma

Identification of real hub genes and functional enrichment. (a) The Venn diagram of DEGs of the combined dataset and hub genes from the brown and tan modules. Twenty-nine real hub genes were identified. (b) The interaction network of lncRNA, transcription factor, and coding mRNA for the real hub genes. The red triangles represent lncRNA, the green diamond represents the transcription factor, and the other light blue circles represent the protein coding genes. (c), (d) The results of functional enrichment analysis using the clusterProfiler package and Metascape database. Phospholipid transport was enriched in both methods.
