The results showed that the levels of GAS5 and linc0597 were significantly lower in SLE patients in the testing group than in RA patients, while no significant differences were found in the levels of lnc7074, lnc-DC, lnc0640, and lnc5150 between the two groups, which may be different from other autoimmune diseases (Sjogren’s syndrome) (25). Here, GAS5 is linked to autoimmune disease.
