The two most significant GO BP terms for MALAT1 (Metastasis associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1) were ion transport (GO:0006811) and excretion (GO:0007588), which seems to be consistent with the observation that MALAT1 often is associated with kidney function and with renal cell carcinoma [51]. This evidence concerns the gene MALAT1 and hereditary clear cell renal cell carcinoma.
