Though TTTY14 lncRNA has not been found in any cataract pathogenesis, previous studies have shown that it is associated with the progression of cancers (Gong et al., 2020; Kopczyńska et al., 2020; Li et al., 2017b), endometriosis (Bhat et al., 2019), and COVID-19 (Askari, Hadizadeh & Rashidifar, 2022), suggesting the critical role of TTTY14 in biological processes. Here, TTTY14 is linked to COVID-19.
