This study provides novel insights into the interactions among hypoxia, ferroptosis, and immune infiltration in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS) via bioinformatics analysis. By employing weighted gene coexpression network analysis (WGCNA) and protein-protein interaction (PPI) analysis, we identified three pivotal hub genes (ITGB1, ITGB8, and VIM).
