For instance, lincRNA CCAT2 (Colon Cancer-Associated Transcript 2, also termed LINC00873), a transcript spanning SNV rs6983267, is associated with an increased risk for prostate, breast, colon, and colorectal cancers (Yeager et al., 2007; Tuupanen et al., 2009; Ling et al., 2013). Here, CCAT2 is linked to colorectal cancer.
