Chen Y et al. analyzed expression levels of lncRNA lnc-DC in patients with SS with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), SS without ITP, SLE, or RA, and healthy control and found elevated expression levels of lnc-DC in patients with SS (especially those with ITP) with correlations with anti-Ro/SS-A and La/SS-B antibody, ESR, and β2 microglobulin levels [53]. The gene discussed is HLA-G; the disease is autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura.
