The areas under the corresponding ROC curves in TCGA and CGGA were 96.67% and 94.32%, respectively, which were both more than the areas of LINC00152 and LOXL1-AS1, and which were previously reported to be associated with PMT in glioma (Fig. 4c, Additional file 2: Fig. S4H). The gene discussed is LOXL1; the disease is central nervous system cancer.
