Core genes were identified via protein\u2013protein interaction networks and functional annotation.

High ACO1 expression was enriched in oxidative phosphorylation and mTOR signaling, while low expression was associated with immune activation. The random forest model incorporating ACO1, CHPF, and STOML1 achieved strong predictive performance (AUC\u2009=\u20090.800).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>ACO1 may function as an immunometabolic modulator by linking iron metabolism, oxidative stress, and T cell activity.
