Non-coding RNAs, including cZRANB1, LINC00501, CTD-2008L17.2, AC092171.4, and SLC7A11-AS1, were identified as functional ncRNAs that competed for the shared miRNAs with mRNAs, and were predicted to be involved in HCC tumorigenesis or progression. The gene discussed is SLC7A11; the disease is hepatocellular carcinoma.
