The lncRNA‐mRNA co‐expression analysis showed that LncRNA‐GAS5, lnc0640 and lnc5150 were involved in SLE pathogenesis through the mitogen‐activated protein kinase pathway (MAPK), and the LncRNA‐GAS5 in plasma could be used as SLE biomarkers.16 This evidence concerns the gene GAS5 and systemic lupus erythematosus.
