In the GSE9348 [10] and GSE23878 [11] of GEO datasets, LINC00959 expression was lower in CRC tissues than adjacent normal tissues (P<0.001, Figure 1B–1C), and high LINC00959 expression was negatively correlated with TNM stage (P<0.05, Figure 1D). This evidence concerns the gene C10orf143 and colorectal carcinoma.
