MALAT1 and myeloid sarcoma: Certain limitations in our study are as follows: (i) the population of enrolled patients and controls was relatively small, which needs a larger sample to further study to verify our results; (ii) in terms of ethnicity, further studies are needed to be conducted in different ethnic groups; (iii) more investigations are required to determine the exact molecular mechanisms by which MALAT1 and lnc-DC participate in MS pathophysiology.
