ELOVL7 and alcoholic hepatitis: By constructing the key mRNA-lncRNA–pathway network, we identified 12 mRNAs (AQP1, ELOVL7, ITPR3, KRT19, KRT23, LAMC2, MMP7, PROM1, SPINT1, STK39, TNFRSF21, and VTCN1) and 14 lncRNAs that play an important role in the occurrence and development of alcoholic hepatitis.
