Exploring common biomarkers of ischemic stroke and obstructive sleep apnea through bioinformatics analysis

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Clinical observations have shown that many patients with ischemic stroke (IS) have a history of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) both before and after the stroke's onset, suggesting potential underlying connections and shared comorbid mechanisms between the two conditions. The aim of this study is to identify the genetic characteristics of OSA patients who develop IS and to establish a reliable disease...
