Identification of Genetic Diagnostic Markers for Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Three immune-linked genes emerge as core diagnostic targets for lupus, requiring experimental and clinical validation before clinical application.
Integrating WGCNA, machine learning, and Mendelian randomization on six SLE GEO datasets identifies GBP1, IFI6, and OAS3 as core diagnostic gene targets with immune infiltration signatures and drug alignment potential. Prospective experimental and clinical validation required.
