Immune hub genes upregulated in rat HCM are hypothesis-generating; human validation required before considering therapeutic targeting.
Identified immune-related hub genes (TYROBP, CSF1R, and SYK) that are upregulated in HCM, suggesting the immune system plays a crucial role and may offer future therapeutic targets.
