GAS5 and systemic lupus erythematosus: In another study, compared with the normal control group, 1315 significantly differentially expressed lncRNAs (lg|FC| ≥ 2.0 and P ≤ 0.05) were found in the plasma of SLE patients (n=24) (68), with significantly increased levels of linc0597, lnc0640, and lnc5150 and significantly decreased levels of GAS5 and lnc7074.
