It has been suggested that the rs664589 G allele alters the binding of MALAT1 to miR-194-5p, resulting in an increased expression of MALAT1 and enhanced CRC development and metastasis [75], while the rs2147578 in lnc-LAMC2-1:1 affects the sponging of miR-128-3p, which correlates with higher expression of the LAMC2 oncogene in CRC [76]. This evidence concerns the gene MALAT1 and colorectal carcinoma.
