On the other hand, LINC00173 has been proven to serve as a vital regulator of several non-tumor diseases, such as hypertrophic scar fibroblasts [20] and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) [21], regulating a series of basic life activities, including cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis [22]. This evidence concerns the gene LINC00173 and polycystic ovary syndrome.
