A novel predictive risk signature for pediatric CD diagnosis was constructed from bioinformatics analysis of six mRNAs, adenomatosis polyposis downregulated 1 (APCDD1), complement component 1r, mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase kinase 5 (MAP3K5), lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase 1, sphingomyelin synthase 1 and transmembrane protein 184B, and validated using samples. The gene discussed is SGMS1; the disease is Cowden disease.
