Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) and sleep disorders are both neurodegenerative conditions characterized by impaired or absent sleep. However, potential common pathogenetic mechanisms of these diseases are not well characterized.

Methods: Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified using publicly available human gene expression profiles GSE5281 for AD and GSE40562 for sleep disorder.

The incidence of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is constantly increasing as the older population grows, and no effective treatment is currently available. In this study, we focused on the identification of AD molecular subtypes to facilitate the development of effective drugs. AD sequencing data collected from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database were subjected to cluster sample analysis.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most invasive brain tumors, and it is associated with high rates of recurrence and mortality. The purpose of this study was to investigate the expression of RBM8A in GBM and the potential influence of its expression on the disease. Levels of RBM8A mRNA in GBM patients and controls were examined in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), GSE16011 and GSE90604 databases.

Objective: Ischemic stroke (IS) is a major cause of severe disability. This study aimed to identify potential biomarkers closely related to IS diagnosis and treatment.

Methods: Profiles of gene expression were obtained from datasets GSE16561, GSE22255, GSE112801 and GSE110993.

Purpose: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) increases the risk of ischemic stroke and poor prognosis. This study aimed to identify molecular mechanisms that are dysregulated in T2DM-associated ischemic stroke and candidate genes that might serve as biomarkers.

Methods: The top 25% variance genes in the GSE21321 and GSE22255 datasets were analyzed for coexpression.
