After adjustment for multiple comparisons, seven biomarkers (four biomarkers of inflammation: IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, and MMP-8 and three biomarkers of endothelial dysfunction: fractalkine, angiopoietin-2/angiopoietin-1, and angiopoietin-2) in the δ-δ group at baseline were significantly more aberrant compared with the γ-δ group. The gene discussed is MMP8; the disease is endothelial dysfunction.
