14 GRGs (VCAN, MERTK, FBP2, TPBG, SDC1, AURKA, ARTN, PGP, PLOD2, PKLR, PFKM, DEPDC1, AGRN, CXCR4) were identified as diagnostic markers for IPF, with seven (ARTN, AURKA, DEPDC1, FBP2, MERTK, PFKM, SDC1) forming a prognostic model demonstrating predictive power (AUC: 0.831–0.793). This evidence concerns the gene FBP2 and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
