The identified influential pathways include pathways in cancer (hsa05200), hepatitis B (hsa05161), human cytomegalovirus infection (hsa05163), IL-17 signaling pathway (hsa04657), fluid shear stress and atherosclerosis (hsa05418), chemical carcinogenesis—reactive oxygen species (hsa05208), and ferroptosis (hsa04216). The gene discussed is IL17A; the disease is cytomegalovirus infection.
