CRC exhibits abnormal expression patterns of lncRNAs, and some lncRNAs, including MEG3[6], SLCC1 [7], H19 [8], FEZF1-AS1 [9], UCA1 [10], and LINC00152 [11], have been reported to regulate colorectal tumourigenesis and progression by targeting tumour-related signalling pathways. The gene discussed is FEZF1; the disease is colorectal carcinoma.
