IL17A and atherosclerosis: KEGG enrichment analysis of these 202 common genes revealed that most of the shared genes related pathways are linked to lipid and atherosclerosis, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, and some immune and inflammation-related pathways, including cytokine–cytokine receptor interaction, IL-17 signaling pathway, and T-cell differentiation, which were consistent with our enrichment analysis results above.
