PLBD1 and hepatocellular carcinoma: As shown in Figure 1, in the present study, after applying weighted correlation network analysis (WGCNA) and several kinds of Cox regression analysis on the database of HCC patients in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), five AR lncRNAs (TMCC1-AS1, PLBD1-AS1, MKLN1-AS, LINC01063, and CYTOR) were identified to construct a prognostic signature for the overall survival (OS) outcomes of HCC patients.
