As per the aforementioned criteria, 13 lncRNAs were tested for their role in CRC prognosis; the majority of the m5C-associated lncRNAs were significant risk factors for CRC (HR > 1), whereas AC073896.3, AC008494.3, and TNFRSF10A-AS1 were protective factors (HR < 1) (Additional file1: Fig S1). Here, TNFRSF10A is linked to colorectal carcinoma.
