To determine the deregulated lncRNAs in gastric cancers, we profiled the expression pattern of 19 human cancer-associated lncRNAs and found a statistically significant overexpression of 8 lncRNAs (H19, PTENP1-AS, GAS5, MEG3, TUG1, AP5M1, PANDA and MALAT1) and significant downregulation of 4 lncRNAs, LINCROR, FALEC, NEAT1 and UCA1. The gene discussed is AP5M1; the disease is cancer.
