Bioinformatics analysis of the potential biomarkers of Multiple Sclerosis and Guillain-Barré syndrome.

Recent research emphasizes the intricate interplay of genetics and epigenetics in neurological disorders, notably Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS), both of which exhibit cardiovascular dysregulation, with GBS often featuring serious bradyarrhythmias requiring prompt recognition and treatment. While cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction in MS is typically less severe, orthostatic intolerance affects around half of MS patients. Their distinction lies in their autoimmune responses, MS is an autoimmune disease affecting the central nervous system, causes demyelination and axon damage, leading to cognitive, ocular, and musculoskeletal dysfunction. In contrast, GBS primarily affects the peripheral nervous system, resulting in paralysis and respiratory complications. Despite their differences, both diseases share environmental risk factors such as viral infections and Vitamin D deficiency. This study aims to explore shared gene expression pathways, functional annotations, and molecular pathways between MS and GBS to enhance diagnostics, pathogenesis understanding, and treatment strategies through molecular analysis techniques. Through the gene expression analysis, five significant genes were found UTS2, TNFSF10, GBP1, VCAN, FOS. Results shows that Common DEGs are linked to apoptosis, bacterial infections, and atherosclerosis. Molecular docking analysis suggests Aflatoxin B1 as a potential therapeutic compound due to its high binding affinity with common differentially expressed proteins.
