In addition, AL513318.2 and SLC6A8 were significantly overexpression in NSCLC tissues compared to normal tissues, and survival analysis revealed that the high expression group had a poorer prognosis compared to the low expression group, whereas hsa-miR-26a-5p exhibited low expression in NSCLC tissues compared to normal tissues, and survival analysis revealed that the low expression group had a poorer prognosis compared to the high expression group. The gene discussed is SLC6A8; the disease is non-small cell lung carcinoma.
