Three lncRNAs, including NUTM2B antisense RNA 1 (NUTM2B-AS1), MAPKAPK5 antisense RNA 1 (MAPKAPK5-AS1) and small nucleolar RNA host gene 16 (SNHG16), were subsequently screened out because of the association with poor prognosis of HCC on one-way Cox analysis (Figure 4(b)) and with the higher expression levels in HCC tissues (Figure 4(c)). Here, NUTM2B is linked to hepatocellular carcinoma.
