To validate the transcriptome expression profiles, the genes evaluated were ANGPTL4, DNAJC12, ACACB, BDKRB1, MCM2, MCM3, and SLC6A12. These genes were found to be differentially expressed between the CC and CF groups according to the qPCR results obtained (Figure 7). Here, SLC6A12 is linked to cystic fibrosis.
