The glycolysis-related lncRNAs AC011503.2, AC078778.1, and ZNF667-AS1 were expressed at a lesser extent in tumor tissues of patients with BCa and were thus considered to be protective factors for the prognosis of bladder cancer, while glycolysis-related lncRNA AC099850.3, AL589843.1, MAFG -DT, NR2F1-AS1, MNX1-AS1, and AC105942.1 were highly expressed in tumor tissues and were therefore considered to be risk factors for the prognosis of BCa. The gene discussed is MAFG; the disease is urinary bladder cancer.
