Immune-related potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets in coronary artery disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a complex illness with unknown pathophysiology. Peripheral biomarkers are a non-invasive method required to track the onset and progression of CAD and have unbeatable benefits in terms of early identification, prognostic assessment, and categorization of the diagnosis. This study aimed to identify and validate the diagnostic and therapeutic potential of differentially expressed immune-related genes (DE-IRGs) in CAD, which will aid in improving our knowledge on the etiology of CAD and in forming genetic predictions.

Methods

First, we searched coronary heart disease in the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and identified GSE20680 (CAD = 87, Normal = 52) as the trial set and GSE20681 (CAD = 99, Normal = 99) as the validation set.
