FCN1 and liver dysplastic nodule: Expression validation and clinical correlation analysis showed that MICB, GZMA, FCN1, and insulin-like growth factor 1 may participate in the development of DN, and carbonic anhydrase 2 and lipoprotein lipase may play protective roles in patients with DN.<h4>Conclusion</h4>Our integrated analysis identified novel biomarkers, including MICB and GZMA, which may help further understand the complicated mechanisms of DN and identify new target pathways for intervention.
