To investigate their potential involvement in CRSwNP, we evaluated the gene expression levels of all known fatty acid transporters, including the solute carrier 27A (SLC27A) gene family, fatty acid binding proteins (FABPs) and CD36 in bulk RNA-seq datasets from two independent cohorts (GSE136825 and GSE179269) (Fig. 4a). This evidence concerns the gene CD36 and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps.
