Children with ITP had significantly higher IFNG-AS1 [(median (IQR) = 3.08 (0.2–22.39), mean ± SD = 18.37 ± 19.54] and GAS5 [(median (IQR) = 4.19 (0.9–16.91), mean ± SD = 6.17 ± 11.33)] expressions in serum than that of healthy controls (p < 0.001 each) (Figure 1). Here, GAS5 is linked to autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura.
