Key genes associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and acute myocardial infarction.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND With the increasing research on non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFLD) and acute myocardial infarction (AMI), many evidences show a tight correlation between NAFLD and AMI, however the underlying pathophysiology is still not clear. This study was to identify the potential hub genes and pathways related to these two diseases via bioinformatic method. MATERIAL AND METHODS Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) dataset GSE63067 of NAFLD patients and normal controls was downloaded from GEO database. The GSE60993 and GSE66360 datasets for AMI patients and healthy controls were also obtained. Differential expression genes (DEGs) of NAFLD and AMI datasets, accompanied with common genes between them were achieved. Further GO and KEGG enrichment analysis for common genes were performed.
