Identification of Key Disulfidptosis-Related Genes and Their Association with Gene Expression Subtypes in Crohn’s Disease

Crohn's disease (CD) is a persistent inflammatory condition that impacts the gastrointestinal system and is characterized by a multifaceted pathogenesis involving genetic, immune, and environmental components. This study primarily investigates the relationship between gene expression and immune cell infiltration in CD, focusing on disulfidptosis-a novel form of cell death caused by abnormal disulfide accumulation-and its impact on various immune cell populations. By identifying key disulfidptosis-related genes (DRGs) and exploring their association with distinct gene expression subtypes, this research aims to enhance our understanding of CD and potentially other autoimmune diseases.
