Article Synopsis
- - This study investigated the role of lncRNA XIST in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and chronic pulmonary heart disease (CPHD), identifying it as a potential biomarker for screening and prognosis.
- - A total of 127 COPD patients were compared to 76 healthy individuals, revealing that XIST levels were significantly higher in COPD patients, especially those with acute exacerbations and CPHD.
- - The findings suggest that elevated XIST levels correlate with greater pulmonary complications and can indicate a poor 3-year prognosis for COPD patients, particularly those also suffering from CPHD.
