LncRNA NEAT1 expression in AIS patients and controls. LncRNA NEAT1 expression detected by qPCR in AIS patients and controls (A). Predictive value of lncRNA NEAT1 for AIS risk evaluated by ROC curve (B). Comparison between two groups was determined by Wilcoxon rank sum test. LncRNA NEAT1, long noncoding RNA nuclear enriched abundant transcript 1; AIS, acute ischemic stroke; qPCR, quantitative polymerase chain reaction; ROC curve, receiver operating characteristic curve. P < .05 was considered significant
