Previous studies have demonstrated that small nucleolar RNA host gene 14 (SNHG14), also known as UBE3A-ATS, exerted oncogenic functions in various types of cancers, including clear cell renal cell carcinoma, gastric cancer, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), cervical cancer, breast cancer, and bladder cancer7–12. The gene discussed is SNHG14; the disease is clear cell renal carcinoma.
