PRNCR1 and prostate carcinoma: Prostate cancer non-coding RNA 1, a lncRNA transcribed from 8q24, participates in the carcinogenesis of prostate cancer (PCa) by activating androgen receptor (AR) (Chung et al., 2011); in addition, polymorphisms of the lncRNA PRNCR1 were noted in many cancers, including colorectal cancer (AlMutairi & Parine, 2019), prostate cancer (Sattarifard et al., 2017), and GC (He et al., 2017).
