This finding agreed with Li et al, 2016 who documented associated high IFNG-AS1 with active ITP when compared to inactive ITP patients (Li et al., 2016) Also, high IFNG-AS1 was present in active ulcerative colitis (Padua et al., 2016) and high GAS5 was linked to active SLE (Suo et al., 2018). Here, IFNG is linked to autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura.
