According to the Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA) online tool (http://gepia.cancer-pku.cn/index.html), SNHG12 expression was higher in tumor tissues from patients with various stages of GC than in matched normal tissues in the stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD) dataset (Figures 1B, C). This evidence concerns the gene SNHG12 and gastric adenocarcinoma.
