Specifically, lnc-DLEU2 was upregulated in MM patients with the t(11;14) translocation and downregulated in samples with the deletion of chromosome 13q; lnc-WDR73-3 was downregulated in MM samples with the t(11;14) translocation; LINC00173 was upregulated in patients overexpressing MAF genes in association with the mir-221 downregulation in the same MM subgroups. This evidence concerns the gene MAF and Miyoshi myopathy.
