Integrative Transcriptomic Analysis and Single-Cell Characterization Identify RTN4 as a Candidate PBMC-Derived Hub Gene Associated with COPD and Coronary Artery Disease
Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with systemic inflammation and increased cardiovascular comorbidity, yet peripheral blood molecular markers for cardiovascular comorbidity-related stratification in COPD remain poorly defined. Methods: In this study, PBMC transcriptomic datasets fro...
