The elevated level of hnRNPK-associated lincRNA correlates with metastasis and poor prognosis of cancer patients, for example, c-Myc upregulated lncRNA (MYU), cancer susceptibility candidate 11 (CASC11), Ets-1 promoter-associated noncoding RNA (pancEts-1)21–24. The gene discussed is MYC; the disease is cancer.
