The mRNAs of ID3, MBTPS1, NOG, and SFXN2 have lower concentrations (are down-regulated) in the stroke samples (log FC = − 0.915, − 0.356, − 0.752, − 0.301, respectively) while BMX and SLC22A11 are up-regulated (log FC = 0.456, 0.365) in the stroke patients. The gene discussed is MBTPS1; the disease is stroke disorder.
