Decreased LINC00996 expression is associated with the occurrence and metastasis of colorectal cancer, and LINC00996 depletion is associated with poor prognosis in patients with colorectal cancer, suggesting that LINC00996 may adjust the JAK‐STAT, NF‐κB, HIF‐1, TLR, and PI3K‐AKT signaling pathways to suppress tumor occurrence and metastasis [26]. The gene discussed is AKT1; the disease is neoplasm.
