Collected 147 genes for interaction genes of sarcopenia versus proliferating myoblasts and 54 genes for interaction genes of sarcopenia versus differentiated myotubes were compared using R, followed by identification of 15 common DEGs (LXN, CIB2, PEA15, KANK2, FGD1, NMRK1, PLCB1, SEMA4G, ADARB1, UPF3A, CSTB, COL3A1, CD99, ETV3 and FJX1) (S1 Table). Here, KANK2 is linked to sarcopenia.
