In cervical cancer, lncRNA HOTAIR and lncRNA GAS5 show opposite effects on forecasting the clinical states of patients, high expression of HOTAIR indicates a high degree of malignancy, whereas lncRNA GAS5 is downregulated in cancer tissues, indicating that low GAS5 expression suggests poor prognosis (Peng et al., 2016). This evidence concerns the gene GAS5 and cervical carcinoma.
