Bioinformatics Analysis of Potential Molecular Markers and Immunological Characteristics Shared Between Post-Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome and Rheumatoid Arthritis

Examine a bioinformatics comparison identifying shared immune-inflammatory signatures between a post-infectious syndrome and autoimmune joint disease.

Key Takeaways
  • Forty-four common differentially expressed genes were found between the two conditions
  • Shared DEGs were enriched for neutrophil chemotaxis and complement activation pathways
  • ZNF83 emerged as a machine-learning feature gene and discriminated samples with AUCs 0.934 and 0.765
