Finally, we assessed the prognostic relevance of HANR in CRC via a Kaplan-Meier approach, revealing a significant association between elevated HANR expression and reduced overall survival (OS) (P = .002, Fig. 3A) as well as disease-free survival (DFS) (P = .003, Fig. 3B), meaning that higher levels of this lncRNA are correlated with a worse prognosis. This evidence concerns the gene RPL13AP20 and colorectal carcinoma.
