Identification of diagnostic genes and drug prediction in metabolic syndrome-associated rheumatoid arthritis by integrated bioinformatics analysis, machine learning, and molecular docking

Interactions between the immune and metabolic systems may play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome-associated rheumatoid arthritis (MetS-RA). The purpose of this study was to discover candidate biomarkers for the diagnosis of RA patients who also had MetS.
