Several interesting genes involved in inflammation (i.e. IL8, IL17, IL1RAP, CX3CR1, and several TLRs) and oxidative stress (i.e. DUSP1, GPX3, DHRS9) were indeed modulated in CRS patients (table 3, and table S2 for the entire panel of genes). This evidence concerns the gene IL17A and congenital rubella syndrome.
