Zhang claimed that up-regulated MALAT1 were significantly correlated with tumor size.[18] Two studies revealed that clinicopathological characteristics were not significantly associated with the expression levels of NONHSAT123350 and lnc-ZNF180-2.[22,23] The other studies reported that lncRNAs were significantly associated with tumor stage (Table 1). The gene discussed is MALAT1; the disease is neoplasm.
