However, when comparing all differentially expressed genes with the fdr-based expression data, only 2 of these genes were differentially expressed between sarcoidosis and IPF compared to controls, i.e., calcium transport protein 1 (CAT1) and SMAD specific E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 1 (SMURF1), both in the sarcoidosis group. Here, TRPV6 is linked to sarcoidosis.
