In addition, in order to further investigate the deeper mechanism of ICC associated with DM, we also analyzed the dataset related to DM and ICC in the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database based on the machine learning methods and found that poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase family member 12 (PARP12) and metallothionein 1M (MT1M) were closely associated with ICC secondary to DM. Here, MT1M is linked to dermatomyositis.
