TABLE 7.

The results of Spearman’s rank correlation between expressions of five lncRNAs and clinical data.

	Age	Disease duration	Age at onset	EDSS
NEST	−0.207	0.289*	−0.32*	0.09
RMRP	−0.076	−0.03	−0.04	−0.03
TH2-LCR	−0.183	−0.121	−0.1	0.047
MAFTRR	−0.058	0.014	−0.08	−0.04
FLICR	−0.157	0.194	−0.26	0.094

*Significance level of p < 0.05.

**Significance level of p < 0.001.

Disease duration was classified into 3 ranges (1–5, 6–10 and more than 4 years).

EDSS, scores was classified into 2 ranges (1-2 and 3–5).
