Of note, six DAS events were highly and significantly correlated with the DESFs (R2 > 0.9; p < 0.01), and their corresponding genes (COPI coat complex subunit gamma 2gene (COPG2), kinesin family member 2C gene (KIF2C), exocyst complex component 7 (EXOC7), Rab9 effector protein with kelch motifs gene (RABEPK), deoxyribonuclease 1 gene (DNASE1) and early endosome antigen 1gene (EEA1)) were significantly enriched in immune response such as vesicle-mediated transport, regulation of acute inflammatory response and tuberculosis through gene ontology (GO) and KEGG analysis. Here, EEA1 is linked to tuberculosis.
