The AUCs of FOX-N3, SIN3A, and NEAT1 in the CPO group were 0.891 [95%CI=(0.806, 0.976)], 0.688 [95%CI=(0.552, 0.824)], and 1.000 [95%CI=(1.000, 1.000)], respectively.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>The results showed a correlation between the rising gene expression of FOXN3, SIN3A, and NEAT1 in peripheral blood and the occurrence of NSOC in Xinjiang. This work provides a theoretical basis for further study of the FOXN3-SIN3A complex as biomarkers to facilitate the early screening, disease prediction, and early prevention of NSOC.</p>","PeriodicalId":94028,"journal":{"name":"Hua xi kou qiang yi xue za zhi = Huaxi kouqiang yixue zazhi = West China journal of stomatology","volume":"42 3","pages":"313-318"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11190867/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141763408","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
