Intersection of three datasets: our Ninj1-associated DEGs, atherosclerosis-related genes from GSE57691, and inflammation-associated genes from DisGeNET C0021368, yielded 11 overlapping genes including CXCL-8, TNFAIP3, and CXCL-1 (Figure 3D). This evidence concerns the gene TNFAIP3 and atherosclerosis.
