HMGA1 and atherosclerosis: Additionally, by integrating the LRGs with the upregulated and downregulated DEGs from the GSE100927 dataset, we identified 9 upregulated genes (FABP5, LSP1, IKZF1, MNDA, CRABP2, ARID3A, RCC2, WAS, and HMGA1) and 8 downregulated genes (CSRP2, PPP1CB, CSRP1, HIST1H1C, HEXIM1, CALD1, PDLIM1, and RANBP2) that are common to both DEGs and LRGs and are associated with atherosclerosis (Figures 2C, D).
