dsDNA
otherCirculating dsDNA from neutrophil extracellular traps marks platelet-leukocyte activation and correlates with myocardial injury magnitude.

Druggability
Not assessed (no mapped human gene target).
Type I vs Type II discrimination
ScoresLow-confidence (proxy)
R — rupture / Type-I74
C — confounder / Type-II87
A — assay feasibility45
E — evidence strength33

Specificity differential (R−C)-12.9
Confounder panel (Type-II drivers)
No confounder evidence retrieved.
Tier: light (literature co-occurrence proxy — lower confidence). See the discrimination table for all markers.
