lncRNA and circular RNAs in orbital adipose/connective tissue from patients with thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy

Our study aimed to investigate the differentially expressed lncRNA and circRNAs and their potential roles in orbital adipose/connective tissue from patients with thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO). The orbital adipose/connective tissue samples from three TAO patients and three control individuals were collected for RNA sequencing after depletion of ribosomal RNA.
