Osteoporosis is a major health concern worldwide. The present study aimed to identify effective biomarkers for osteoporosis detection. In osteoporosis, 559 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were enriched in PI3K-Akt signaling pathway and Foxo signaling pathway. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis showed that green, pink, and tan modules were clinically significant modules, and that six genes (VEGFA, DDX5, SOD2, HNRNPD, EIF5B, and HSP90B1) were identified as “real” hub genes in the protein–protein interaction network, co-expression network, and 559 DEGs. The sensitivity and specificity of the support vector machine (SVM) for identifying patients with osteoporosis was 100%, with an area under curve of 1 in both training and validation datasets. Our results indicated that the current system using the SVM method could identify patients with osteoporosis. |
