Among them, 12 genes (BPTF, PHC2, JUN, KRAS, PTEN, FGFR2, ALB, SERB-1, SKP2, TUBA1A, IMP3, and SMAD4) of RA and 12 genes (OAS1, RSAD2, OASL, IFIT3, OAS2, IFIH1, CENPE, TOP2A, PBK, KIF11, IFIT1, and ISG15) of SLE are proposed as potential biomarker genes based on receiver operating curve analysis. The gene discussed is PHC2; the disease is rheumatoid arthritis.
