Recent studies have demonstrated lncRNA small nucleolar RNA host gene 1 (SNHG1) as a tumor promoter in human cancers, including breast, cervical, non-small cell lung, and gastric cancers.10, 11, 12, 13 More importantly, SNHG1 has been shown to facilitate the development of HCC and hence exert promise functioning as a therapeutic target for this malignancy.14 The gene discussed is SNHG1; the disease is hepatocellular carcinoma.
