Our RNA sequencing data identified 347 DE-lncRNAs in TAO patients as compared with healthy individuals, with |log2FC| > 2 and p value < 0.05 as the thresholds; these included 150 downregulated lncRNAs (including AL355488.1 [ENST00000609909], SNHG22 [ENST00000615535], RAD51-AS1 [ENST00000533146]) and 197 upregulated lncRNAs (including NEAT1 [ENST00000501122], AC107068.1 [ENST00000563286], MALAT1 [ENST00000610481]) (Figure 1a). This evidence concerns the gene MALAT1 and thromboangiitis obliterans.
