The results showed that one lncRNA in particular, LINC00152 (CYTOR) was significantly differentially upregulated in OSCC tissues and elevated CYTOR expression was associated with advanced clinical stage (Supplementary Fig. S1G) and advanced pathological grade (Supplementary Fig. S1H) of HNSCC patients in the TCGA database cohort., thus suggesting its potential oncogenic and prognostic value. The gene discussed is CYTOR; the disease is head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
