Bioinformatics and machine learning-driven discovery of candidate tissue diagnostic markers for endometriosis with experimental verification
To identify core diagnostic genes for endometriosis using integrated computational approaches, focusing on their potential clinical applications.
Key Findings:
Four genes (COL6A3, BGN, LAMA4, THBS2) were identified as robust candidate tissue diagnostic markers, showing consistent upregulation and high discriminatory power (AUC > 0.80).
These genes are implicated in extracellular matrix remodeling and are associated with immune dysregulation, featuring elevated M1 macrophages and plasma cells, and reduced resting NK cells.
Interpretation:
The identified genes are linked to extracellular matrix and immune microenvironment alterations in endometriosis.
Limitations:
The study relies on transcriptomic datasets, which may not capture all aspects of endometriosis pathology; further validation in larger and more diverse cohorts is necessary to confirm the diagnostic utility of the identified biomarkers.
Conclusion:
COL6A3, BGN, LAMA4, and THBS2 represent promising candidate tissue diagnostic markers for endometriosis, linked to extracellular matrix and immune microenvironment alterations, providing novel insights for future research and clinical translation.
