A total of 709 autophagy-related genes were identified in colon cancer tissues, and 11 autophagy-related lncRNAs (AL138756.1, LINC01063, CD27-AS1, LINC00957, EIF3J-DT, LINC02474, SNHG16, AC105219.1, AC068580.3, LINC02381, and LINC01011) were finally selected and set as prognosis-related lncRNAs. The gene discussed is SNHG16; the disease is malignant colon neoplasm.
