Fifteen genes (KMO, RPS27A, SPNS2, TUBA1B, BASP1, FBRSL1, AATK, PLK5, LRRC75A, TLCD4, IP6K3, DPY19L2P2, LRRN2, BTLA, and ALOX15) in opposite model significantly differentially expressed in patients with sepsis and ARDS compared to those with sepsis alone. Here, DPY19L2P2 is linked to acute respiratory distress syndrome.
