Functional genes within the GWAS loci may be cell type-specific, but their identity remains largely unknown.

This study aimed to underscore the potential functional genes within the GWAS loci through the analysis of m<sup>6</sup>A-associated SNPs (m<sup>6</sup>A-SNPs), specifically within relevant cell types. JDM-associated m<sup>6</sup>A-SNPs were identified from the GWAS summary dataset. The correlation between m<sup>6</sup>A-SNPs and gene expression was assessed through bulk tissue and single-cell eQTL analyses. To further investigate the relationship between gene expression and JDM, Mendelian randomization analysis was employed. Additionally, differential expression analyses were conducted on bulk tissues, as well as single-cell transcriptomic data comprising 6 JDM patients and 11 juvenile controls (99,396 cells). Seven m<sup>6</sup>A-SNPs associated with JDM were identified.

CRC patients from TCGA were divided into high and low macrophage subgroups based on the median macrophage score. The ESTIMATE and CIBERSORT algorithms were used to assess immune cell infiltration between subgroups. GSVA and GSEA analyses were performed to investigate differences in enriched pathways between subgroups. Univariate and LASSO Cox regression were used to build a prognostic risk model, which was further validated in the GSE39582 dataset. A high macrophage score subgroup was associated with poor prognosis, highly activated immune-related pathways and an immune-active microenvironment. A total of 547 differentially expressed macrophage-related genes (DEMRGs) were identified, among which seven genes (including RIMKLB, UST, PCOLCE2, ZNF829, TMEM59L, CILP2, DTNA) were identified by COX regression analyses and used to build a risk score model. The risk model shows good predictive and diagnostic values for CRC patients in both TCGA and GSE39852 datasets. Furthermore, multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that the risk score was an independent risk factor for overall survival in CRC patients.
