Predictive value of tear lipidomics biomarkers for TAO activity and relationship with clinical characteristics

Key Points

• Tear lipidomics biomarkers significantly correlate with thyroid-associated orbitopathy activity and clinical characteristics.
• The study identifies specific lipid profiles that provide insights into disease progression at a molecular level.
• Using tear lipidomics analysis, the relationship between biomarkers and TAO activity was thoroughly examined.
• These findings highlight the potential for lipidomics in clinical assessments of thyroid-associated orbitopathy.
