The predictive genes showed positive and negative skewness within the range of +/-2 for E. coli-induced sepsis patients, except for the genes EIF1AY, APOBEC3B, with positive and GUSBP3 (also known as SMA3) with negative skewness, and positive or limited negative kurtosis within the range of +/-7, except for GUSBP3 with considerable positive kurtosis. The gene discussed is APOBEC3B; the disease is Sepsis.
