DEFA8P and Cryptococcal meningitis: The expression of the lncRNAs (Figure 5B,D), ECRP, LINC00968, DPY19L1p1, DEFA8P, and DEFT1P2 was higher but the expression of the lncRNAs DDX11L10 and MTMR9LP was lower in cryptococcal meningitis patients than in healthy controls, which was consistent with the chip analysis results.
