Subsequently, 13 ferroptosis-related genes (DRD5, TSC22D3, TFAP2A, STMN1, DDIT3, MYCN, ELAVL1, JUN, DUSP1, MIB1, PSAT1, LCE2C, and MIR27A) were identified from the interaction between differentially expressed genes and FerrDb database, which are regarded as the potential targets of CPAP-treated OSA. The gene discussed is LCE2C; the disease is obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.
