In particular: (i) increased expression of KCNQ1OT1 has been reported in CRC tissue and cell lines [39]; (ii) KCNQ1OT1 is a prognostic biomarker correlating with poor prognosis of CRC patients [40]; and (iii) KCNQ1OT1 promotes proliferation, migration and invasion of CRC cells [41]. This evidence concerns the gene KCNQ1OT1 and colorectal carcinoma.
