MYLK and hepatocellular carcinoma: A study of the correlation of the progression-free survival (PFS) of HCC patients and MYLK-AS1 expression with the OS was done, revealing that patients with tumor tissue with high MYLK-AS1 expression displayed a significantly shorter OS (30.6% vs. 59.3%, P = 0.0041) and PFS (27.2% vs. 48.9%, P = 0.0045), in comparison with patients with low MYLK-AS1 expression, according to the Kaplan-Meier analysis (Fig. 2h, i).
