Fourteen of these genes (RNF125, FEM1C, FAM54A, ZNF791, AXIN2, B3GNT2, ZNF565, SPON1, TIPARP, ZBTB3, FAM115C, PELO, MXD1, and PFKFB3) were also identified as differentially expressed, and over expressed in BPD in an independent study looking at BPD markers in PBMCs (15). The gene discussed is MXD1; the disease is bronchopulmonary dysplasia.
