From co‐expression analysis among DE miRNAs and CRC‐relevant genes from the literature residing in the 8q24 region (MYC, PVT1, LRATD2, POU5F1B, PCAT1, CCAT2, CASC8, CASC11, and CCDC26), several significant correlations (p < 0.05) were observed either in adjacent mucosa (Figure 2A, Table S3A) or in tumor tissue (Figure 2B). The gene discussed is PCAT1; the disease is neoplasm.
