The Venn diagram comparing the overlap between the top proteins in subset analyses (Fig. 1) suggested that CTSS was the only common protein identified by all subset analyses at P < 0.05, whereas EFNA4 was in common between PTSD–MCI and PTSD-only analyses; BCAN, MDGA1, CPA2, and EPHA10 were in common between PTSD–MCI and MCI-only analyses; PVR, CD200, and ATP6V1F were in common between PTSD-only and MCI-only analyses. Here, BCAN is linked to post-traumatic stress disorder.
