Shared Genetic Characteristics of Coronary Artery Disease and Peripheral artery Disease: Insights From Integrated Bioinformatics Analysis of RNA-Sequencing Data by Abdul Qadir Nawabi, Lijuan Chen

“…A network of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) was built via the STRING and visualized by Cytoscape plugin, CytoHubba, and MCODE, which led to the identification of 10 hub genes, ie, GLS, CCND2, RBL2, ITGB1, IL6ST, THRB, MBNL1, PDE5A, PROS1 , and CACNA2D3 . Most of these genes involved in key functions, such as voltage-gated calcium channel trafficking, cGMP degradation, RNA splicing, thyroid hormone receptor beta, IL6ST, and cytokine signaling, play crucial roles. …”
