GATA2 and multiple sclerosis: We employed differential gene expression analysis across 19 datasets of whole blood/peripheral blood cell samples with five different autoimmune disorders (rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, Crohn’s disease, and type 1 diabetes) to get nine key genes—EGR1, RUNX3, SMAD7, NAMPT, S100A9, S100A8, CYBB, GATA2, and MCEMP1 that were primarily involved in cell and leukocyte activation, leukocyte mediated immunity, IL-17, AGE-RAGE signaling in diabetic complications, prion disease, and NOD-like receptor signaling confirming its role in immune-related pathways.
