and the significant negative correlation of each with HOTAIR in both patients’ groups (for NEAT1; r = -0.790, P < 0.001 in HTN, and r=- 0.774, P < 0.001 in NHTN, for GAS5; r = -0.526, P < 0.001 in HTN, and r=-0.554, P < 0.001 in NHTN) Also, the detected significant negative correlation of each NEAT1 (r = -0.268, P = 0.010 in HTN and r = -0.348, P = 0.001 in NHTN group) or GAS5 (r=- 0.212, P < 0.045 in NHTN) with NIHSS score while the significant positive correlation between HOTAIR and NIHSS score r = 0.286, P = 0.010 in HTN, and r = 0.432, P < 0.001 in NHTN). The gene discussed is GAS5; the disease is hypertensive disorder.
