We compared the differences in the expression of these TFs between the OSA and control groups and showed that ABL1, ESR1, GLI1, and WT1 were down-regulated in the OSA group, whereas HDAC3, PARP1, ZNF382, and ZNF383 were up-regulated in the OSA group (Figures 6B–I). Here, GLI1 is linked to obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.
