Notably, NEAT1 was the top one lncRNA with a positive correlation coefficient of 0.54 in validation data (Figure 5D), which also ranked among the top 63 in the data from Darmanis et al. Moreover, the high expression level of NEAT1 was significantly correlated with poor OS and DFS of patients (Figure 5E), which was accordant with the roles of NEAT1 in promoting malignant phenotypes and progression of GBM (Chen Q. et al., 2018; Zhou et al., 2019). Here, NEAT1 is linked to glioblastoma.
