NOVA1 and melanoma: Recently, increasing studies have showed that RNA‐binding proteins (RBPs) are important for post‐transcriptional regulation.13, 14, 15, 16 Several studies have investigated the roles of RBPs in the prognosis and progression of melanoma.17, 18, 19 Neuro‐oncological ventral antigen 1 (NOVA1) is one member of RBPs and is involved in the programme of neural splicing.20, 21 The NOVA superfamily has two members such as NOVA1 and NOVA2.
