Moreover, Th17‐related monocytes that highly express lncRNA XIST, CLEC10A, CX3CR1, and THBS1, which are considered critical alarmins that induce inflammation, may be the most feasible hub genes for AS‐associated uveitis and have been found to participate in Th17 cell differentiation.38, 41, 42, 43. This evidence concerns the gene THBS1 and uveitis.
