HOXA11‐AS was significantly overexpressed in surgically excised glioma tissue compared with adjacent nontumor tissue.17, 18 And elevated HOXA11‐AS indicates a short survival and a poor prognosis in glioma patients.17, 18 The significant difference in HOXA11‐AS expression among glioblastoma (GBM) subtypes revealed by the mRNA microarray may indicate that HOXA11‐AS may also serve as a marker for glioma molecular subtype.17 The expression level of HOXA11‐AS was also significantly elevated in glioma cell lines (U251 and SHG44) when compared with normal human astrocytes. The gene discussed is HOXA11; the disease is glioblastoma.
