We found that the expression of TALNEC2 mRNA was significantly higher in GBM specimens compared with that of normal brains (Figure 4D, P<0.001) and that the expression of TALNEC2 was increased in GBM compared to anaplastic astrocytomas and oligodendrogliomas (Figure 4E, P< 0.001). Here, LINC01116 is linked to anaplastic astrocytoma.
