Moreover, 24 biomarkers were determined to distinguish between patients suffering from AD and PD—respectively, higher expression of α-defensins—1, 2, and sum, Hst1, Hst1 0P, Hst5, Hst6, statherin 2P, 1P, desD1, des1-9, des1-10 and des1-13, PRP1 1P, PRP3 2P, PRP3 1P, P-C peptide, cystatin SN and S100A9sox, and lower expression of SLPI, PB des1-5 and des1-12, SV1 and cystatin SA. The gene discussed is HTN1; the disease is Parkinson disease.
