LncRNA epidermal growth factor receptor antisense RNA 1 (EGFR-AS1) facilitated the tumorigenesis and progression of renal cell carcinoma by enhancing epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) expression via binding with RNA binding protein HuR (ELAV like RNA binding protein 1, ELAVL1)21. The gene discussed is ELAVL1; the disease is hereditary clear cell renal cell carcinoma.
