Another way of participation of DSCAM-AS1 in the pathogenesis of lung cancer is mediated through up-regulation of BCL11A (Liao and Xie, 2019), a proto-oncogene which is activated in lung cancer through different mechanisms such as gene amplification and over-expression of miR-30a (Jiang et al., 2013). Here, BCL11A is linked to lung cancer.
