Considering several studies have demonstrated abnormal expression of HOTAIR in multiple tumors [4, 10, 12, 17], we then evaluated the expression of HOTAIR, as well as HOXC11, in GC tissues by using Oncomine database, in which datasets from Cho et al. [18] and D'Errico et al. [19] were selected for further analysis. The gene discussed is HOXC11; the disease is gastric cancer.
