The study demonstrated that LINC01703, AC104088.1, DLX6-AS1, AC013652.1 and AL513318.2 were significantly associated with SLC6A8 (cor>0.2, P-value<0.001) and were significantly differentially expressed in NSCLC tissues versus normal tissues (logFC<0, P-value< 0.05) (Table 3). Here, DLX6 is linked to non-small cell lung carcinoma.
