In allergic rhinitis the mean expressions of five lncRNAs (RP11-325K4.3, OIP5-AS1, JPX, HNRNPU, MZF1-AS1) were significantly higher than in COPD, three (OIP5-AS1, HNRNPU, JPX) than in asthma, five (OIP5-AS1, HNRNPU, RP11-325K4.3, RP11-282O18.3, JPX) than in non-allergic asthma and one (OIP5-AS1) than in allergic asthma. The gene discussed is OIP5; the disease is asthma.
