Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disease that severely affects the life quality of patients. This study explores the differences in immune cell types between MG and healthy control and the role of immune\u2010related genes in the diagnosis of MG. <jats:italic>Methods<\/jats:italic>. The GSE85452 dataset was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and analyzed using the limma package to determine differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between patients with MG and the control group. Differentially expressed immune cells were analyzed using single\u2010sample gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), while immune cell\u2010associated modules were identified by weighted gene coexpression network analysis (WGCNA). Then, the expression of the identified hub genes was confirmed by RT\u2010PCR in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of MG patients. The R package pROC was used to plot the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curves. <jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>. The modules related to CD56<jats:sup>bright<\/jats:sup> natural killer cells were identified by GSEA and WGCNA. The proportion of CD56<jats:sup>bright<\/jats:sup> natural killer cells in the peripheral blood of MG patients is low. The results of RT\u2010PCR showed that the levels of DDB1\u2010 and CUL4\u2010associated factor 12 (DCAF12) and heat shock protein family A member 1A (HSPA1A) were significantly decreased in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of MG patients compared with healthy controls. The ROC curve results of DCAF12 and HSPA1A mRNA in MG diagnosis were 0.780 and 0.830, respectively. <jats:italic>Conclusions<\/jats:italic>. CD56<jats:sup>bright<\/jats:sup> NK cell is lower in MG patients and may affect MG occurrence. DCAF12 and HSPA1A are lowly expressed in PBMCs of MG patients and may serve as the diagnostic biomarkers of MG.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2022\/8587273","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,25]],"date-time":"2022-05-25T01:50:14Z","timestamp":1653443414000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["DCAF12
