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). The gene discussed is GAS5; the disease is autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura.
