Psoriasis is a prevalent condition characterized by chronic inflammation, immune dysregulation, and genetic alterations, significantly impacting the well-being of affected individuals. Recently, a novel aspect of programmed cell death, ferroptosis, linked to iron metabolism, has come to light. This research endeavors to unveil novel diagnostic genes associated with ferroptosis in psoriasis, employing bioinformatic methods and experimental validation. Diverse analytical strategies, including "limma," Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA), Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO), Support Vector Machine Recursive Feature Elimination (SVM-RFE), and Random Forest (RF), were employed to pinpoint pivotal ferroptosis-related diagnostic genes (FRDGs) in the training datasets GSE30999, testing dataset GSE41662 and GSE14905...
