For three lncRNAs in this study, CAT104 is located within the intron of PDE4DIP, which has been reported in renal cancer; STXBP5-AS1 is an antisense RNA, which has been detected differential expressed in lung squamous cancer; LINC01234 is a long intergenic non-protein coding RNA, which is associated with the survival of patients with oesophageal squamous cell cancer37. This evidence concerns the gene PDE4DIP and renal carcinoma.
