Abstract:
The global rise in Crohn's Disease (CD) incidence has intensified diagnostic challenges. This study identified circadian rhythm-related biomarkers for CD using datasets from the GEO database. Differentially expressed genes underwent Weighted Gene Co-Expression Network Analysis, with 49 hub genes intersected from GeneCards data. Diagnostic models were constructed using machine learning algorithms, and biologic therapy efficacy was predicted with advanced regression techniques. Single-cell sequencing showed high gene expression in stem cells, immune, and endothelial cells, with validation confirming significant differences between CD patients and controls. These findings suggest circadian rhythm-related genes as promising diagnostic biomarkers for CD.
