%X Given a non-abelian finite group $G$, let $pi(G)$ denote the set of prime divisors of the order of $G$ and denote by $Z(G)$ the center of $G$. Thetextit{ prime graph} of $G$ is the graph with vertex set $pi(G)$ where two distinct primes $p$ and $q$ are joined by an edge if and only if $G$ contains an element of order $pq$ and the textit{non-commuting graph} of $G$ is the graph with the vertex set $G-Z(G)$ where two non-central elements $x$ and $y$ are joined by an edge if and only if $xy neq yx$. Let $ G $ and $ H $ be non-abelian finite groups with isomorphic non-commuting graphs. In this article, we show that if $ | Z ( G ) | = | Z ( H ) | $, then $ G $ and $ H $ have the same prime graphs and also, the set of orders of the maximal abelian subgroups of $ G $ and $ H $ are the same.
