Although they are not predicted to be associated with expression level of M1AP, these two SNPs are predicted as eQTLs for two lung cancer-related genes: LBX2, encoding a transcription factor causally implicated in lung adenocarcinoma (24) and LBX2-AS1 (25), encoding a regulatory RNA that promotes cell proliferation and metastasis of NSCLC. Here, LBX2 is linked to non-small cell lung carcinoma.
