In addition, Angeloni et al., (2006) [16] suggested that expression of ROBO1 could be regulated by two ncRNAs encoded by the intron2 of ROBO1. However, our data suggested that there was no concordance between the expression profiles of ROBO1 and the ncRNAs, as observed in HNSCC [15]. The gene discussed is ROBO1; the disease is head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
