CLCN5 and malignant colon neoplasm: Some of the miRNAs hosted in the CLCN5 gene have also been related to cancer, e.g., high expression of miR-362 is associated to worse prognosis and apoptosis resistance in colorectal and gastric cancer [45,46], that of miR-500a to hepatocellular carcinoma [47], and that of miR-502 to diverse types of cancer through a polymorphism in its target gene SET8 [48], and to colon cancer by inhibiting autophagy [49].
