In the HOXC13-AS/miR-383-3p/HMGA2 axis, the overexpression of HOXC13 antisense RNA (HOXC13-AS) and high mobility group A2 (HMGA2) and the downregulation of miR-383-3p were found in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) tissues and cells (Gao et al., 2019). Here, HMGA2 is linked to nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
