Abstract
BACKGROUND: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic joint condition that causes pain, limited mobility, and reduced quality of life, posing a threat to healthy aging. Early detection is crucial for improving prognosis. Recent research has focused on the role of ubiquitination-related genes (URGs) in early OA prediction. This study aims to integrate URG expression data with machine learning (ML) to identify biomarkers that improve diagnosis and prognosis in the early stages of OA.
