OBJECTIVE: Women have a higher lifetime risk of stroke than men and are more likely to die from it. Ferroptosis is a recently discovered form of programmed cell death implicated in many diseases. The role of ferroptosis-related genes in the diagnosis, prognosis. and treatment of elderly women with ischemic stroke (IS) requires additional clarification. This paper aimed to screen ferroptosis-related genes associated with IS in elderly women and to identify hub genes and candidate drugs. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ferroptosis-related differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in elderly women with IS wer...
