Goedert et al.15 used data from patients with THCA (deposited in The Cancer Genome Atlas [TCGA] database) to identify differentially expressed lncRNAs related to the BRAF V600E mutation through bioinformatic analysis and found that the targets of BRAF V600E-related lncRNAs were mainly involved in the calcium signaling pathway, extracellular matrix–receptor interactions, and the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway. Here, BRAF is linked to cancer.
