Across disease models, elevated HSP90AA1 expression has been correlated with cancer, neurodegeneration, inflammation and viral infection, although its relevance to human CKD remains understudied (Yuan et al. 2022; Luo et al. 2010; Geller et al. 2011; Whitesell and Lindquist 2005). The gene discussed is HSP90AA1; the disease is viral infectious disease.
