Analyzing the correlation between ILF3-AS1 expression and clinicopathological characteristics of these 60 primary melanomas, we noted that ILF3-AS1 is higher in melanomas at least 1 mm thick, which is more likely to metastasize and has more severity (T2/T3/T4 versus T1) (Figure 1C). Here, ILF3 is linked to melanoma.
