As a first step in characterizing the RNAs present in the HMGA2-AS1 locus, we analyzed their expression in human cell lines derived from breast (MDA-MB 231, MDA-MB 157), pancreatic (BX-PC3, PANC1), colon (SW480, HCT116), thyroid (ARO, TPC1), hepatic (HepG2, Hep3B), and prostatic (DU145, PC3) carcinoma. The gene discussed is HMGA2; the disease is carcinoma.
