Abstract

Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) are synthetic chemicals utilized in the production of various products that possess water and dirt-repellent properties. Exposure to PFAS has been linked to numerous diseases, such as cancer and preeclampsia (PE). However, whether PFAS contributes to the advancement of PE remains uncertain. In this study, we conducted an extensive bioinformatics analysis using the Comparative Toxicogenomics Database (CTD) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases, leading us to discover a connection between PE and four specific PFAS. Moreover, further examination revealed that six genes associated with PFAS exhibited significant diagnostic potential for individuals with PE. By employing receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, our PFAS-related gene-based nomogram model demonstrated outstanding predictive efficacy for diagnosing PE. Immune infiltration analysis showed that six PFAS-related genes were significantly associated with the level of immune cell infiltration. The expression of PFAS-related genes in PE patients was confirmed by collecting clinical samples. This research has offered fresh perspectives on comprehending the impact of PFAS on PE, drawing attention to the connection between environmental factors and the risks and development of PE.

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 03 January 2024.
All research outputs
#15,455,795
of 25,806,763 outputs
Outputs from Toxicology Methods
#217
of 479 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#145,078
of 356,595 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Toxicology Methods
#1
of 11 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,806,763 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 38th percentile – i.e., 38% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 479 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.8. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 53% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 356,595 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 57% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 11 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 90% of its contemporaries.
