RNF144A and neoplasm: From the analysis of the TCGA database, the higher expression level of RNF144A-AS1 was correlated with advanced tumor stages (T stages) and tumor distant metastasis (M stage) (Fig. 1E), as well as linked to poor overall survival rate (HR = 1.70, 95% CI 1.21–2.39) and recurrence-free survival rate (HR = 2.25, 95% CI 1.10–4.60) (Fig. 1F).
