Furthermore, STRING protein network studies demonstrated 7 candidate HSA21 genes participated Gene Ontology (GO) terms: cell adhesion and extracellular matrix remodeling (COL6A1, COL6A2, COL18A1, ADAMTS5, JAM2, and POFUT2), inflammation and virus infection response (MX1 and MX2), histone modification and chromatin remodeling (NRIP1), glycerolipid and glycerophospholipid metabolism (AGPAT3), mitochondrial function (ATP5PF and ATP5PO), synaptic vesicle endocytosis (ITSN1 and SYNJ1) and amyloid metabolism (APP). This evidence concerns the gene NRIP1 and viral infectious disease.
