used a weighted gene co-expression network analysis screening method to identify four key genes that are shared with OSA and lung cancer, namely modulator of apoptosis 1 (MOAP1), chromobox 7 (CBX7), platelet-derived growth factor subunit B (PDGFB), and mitogen-activated protein kinase 3 (MAP2K3). Here, CBX7 is linked to lung carcinoma.
