Although several lncRNAs have been reported to be involved in the pathogenesis of melanoma, such as BANCR, SLNCR1, CASC15, MALAT1 and so on [12], genome-wide systematic analysis for the predictive value of lncRNAs in prognosis prediction for cutaneous melanoma is lacking because of limited available lncRNA expression profiles in cutaneous melanoma. The gene discussed is CASC15; the disease is cutaneous melanoma.
