MCM3AP and neoplasm: Ma X et al. used RT-qPCR to detect the expression level of MCM3AP-AS1 in CRC and paraneoplastic tissues, and found that the expression level of MCM3AP-AS1 was significantly higher in CRC tissues, and patients in the high MCM3AP-AS1 level group [35] had a lower overall survival rate compared with those in the low MCM3AP-AS1 level group, but the expression level of MCM3AP-AS1 did not correlate with patients’ age, gender, tumor stage, or tumor grade [35].
