Purpose Myocardial infarction (MI) is a common cardiovascular disease, and its underlying pathological mechanism remains unclear. We aimed to develop a diagnostic model to distinguish different subtypes of MI. Patients and Methods The gene expression profiles of MI from the GEO database and hypoxia-related genes (HRGs) from MSigDB were downloaded. Then, the different MI subtypes based on HRGs were identified with unsupervised clustering. The difference of expression patterns and hypoxic-immune status among different subtypes of MI were investigated. The diagnostic model to distinguish the different subtypes of MI was developed and validated. Results Based on HRGs, MI samples were divided into two subtypes, cluster A and cluster B. A total of 211 genes showed significant changes in expression between the two subtypes. Cluster A was characterized by high hypoxia status and low immunity status. Based on weighted gene co-expression network analysis, ROC analysis and LASSO regression algorithm, 5 genes were identified as potential diagnostic markers. Finally, a diagnostic model based on these 5 genes was established, which can distinguish the two subtypes well. Conclusion The five hub genes, including ANKRD36, HLTF, KIF3A, OXCT1 and VPS13A, may be associated with the different subtypes of MI.
