Then, it is perhaps not surprising to see similar functional roles of NORAD in other types of human cancers, as downregulating NORAD also yielded significant inhibitory effects on proliferation and migration in both pancreatic cancer and breast cancer cells.15, 27 However, the present study is the first report demonstrating the mechanistic role of NORAD in human EOC cells. The gene discussed is NORAD; the disease is familial pancreatic carcinoma.
