CASC8, DNMBP-AS1, LINC00941, TM4SF1-AS1, and UCA1 expression was positively correlated with risk scores, indicating that they are risk factors for pancreatic cancer; in contrast, SNHG10 and SOCS2-AS1 were negatively correlated, thus serving as protective factors for pancreatic cancer. The gene discussed is CASC8; the disease is pancreatic neoplasm.
