Elevated Expression of the Long Noncoding RNA MAFTRR in Patients with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis

Figure 1

Increased expression of MAFTRR in PBMCs from the HT patients. (a) Genomic position of MAFTRR and MAF on human chromosome. (b) The transcript levels of MAFTRR in PBMCs from 38 HT patients and 38 healthy controls were determined by qRT-PCR. (c) The transcript levels of MAFTRR in PBMCs from the HT patients with euthyroidism and hypothyroidism were determined. The correlations between the transcript levels of MAFTRR and the serum concentrations of TgAb (d) and TPOAb (e) in the HT patients are shown. Each data point represents an individual subject, and the horizontal lines show the mean. . NS: no significance.
