Among the 12 selected molecular markers, the univariate analysis results show that levels of IL-1Ra, IL-17A, CCL19, CX3CL1, and TNF were significantly higher in plasma from the sepsis patients compared to non-sepsis patients in the prediction cohort, whereas levels of IL-17AF were higher in non-sepsis patients (Fig. 5). The gene discussed is CX3CL1; the disease is Sepsis.
