Why this annotation

Hub genes include MACROH2A1 (macroH2A histone variant, chromatin silencing/X-inactivation), H2AZ1 (H2A.Z histone variant, active chromatin), H4C3 (histone H4), SEPTIN8/SEPTIN1 (cytoskeletal septins), KARS1 (aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase), ADSS2 (purine biosynthesis), COA8 (mitochondrial complex IV assembly), STING1 (innate immune cGAS-STING sensor), and NHEJ1 (non-homologous end joining). All disease deltas are zero, suggesting constitutive expression. The histone variants (MACROH2A1, H2AZ1, H4C3) and chromatin-associated genes are the most coherent subgroup. The module appears to represent a constitutive chromatin/histone variant program with mixed housekeeping genes.
