In validation data from Neftel et al. (2019)NEAT1 was the top one positively correlated lncRNA and MIAT was the top one negatively correlated lncRNA, consistent with their roles in GBM progression that increased NEAT1 could promote proliferation, malignant phenotypes and TMZ resistance (Bi et al., 2020) and high expression of MIAT is associated with prolonged survival (Bountali et al., 2019). Here, NEAT1 is linked to glioblastoma.
