Finally, six lncRNAs (DLEU2, HOTTIP, MALAT1, NEAT1, SNHG1, and TUG1), registered in Lnc2Cancer 2.0, a database offering comprehensive experimentally supported associations between lncRNA and human cancer, were selected as candidate lncRNAs for the diagnosis of HCC (Fig. 1H). Here, MALAT1 is linked to hepatocellular carcinoma.
