LINC-ROR and malignant colon neoplasm: Although the present study was the first to report a significant association between the LINC-ROR rs1942347 variant and poor prognosis of patients with colon cancer, it lacks the functional and mechanistic works that unravel the specific role of the studied variant on LINC-ROR gene expression and/or the impacted downstream targets in colon cancer, which is planned for future work.
