Although the anti-KCNRG autoantibody titers were modestly elevated compared to the anti-cytokine autoantibodies, 23% (8/35) of the ARDS and 25% (3/12) of the sepsis patients had statistically significant autoantibody titers that were higher than the control cut-off (Figure 1E). This evidence concerns the gene KCNRG and Sepsis.
