Genes related to Linc00996 were enriched in 77 KEGG pathways: allograft rejection, antigen processing and presentation, cell adhesion molecules (CAMs), autoimmune thyroid disease, and B-cell receptor signaling pathway, etc. Genes related to Linc00996 were enriched in 18 hallmark pathways including IL2-STAT5 signaling, IL6-JAK-STAT3 signaling, allograft rejection, complement, and inflammatory response. This evidence concerns the gene STAT3 and autoimmune thyroid disease.
