This analysis also pinpointed two interesting candidate DEGs that are associated with two of the analyzed traits each, namely CDKN2B-AS1 in Paper 4, which is associated with both hypertension and atherosclerosis, and HLA-DRB1 in Paper 5, which is associated with both atherosclerosis and arterial stiffness (Table S5). The gene discussed is HLA-DRB1; the disease is atherosclerosis.
