GJB2 and neurodegenerative disease: Taking the 61 genes as input, we identify 14 genes related to cardiovascular diseases, including RASA1, CNOT2, MICALCL, MDFIC, PRDM7, ATXN1, CSGALNACT1, DYSF, GJB2, KRT35, MUC16, P2RX6, ZNF618, and CD80, and 5 genes related to neurodegenerative diseases, which are ATXN1, EPB41L1, PNPLA6, SYN2, and ERO1B (see Figure 1 and Table 1).
