1053 lncRNAs co-expressed with 36 telomerase genes (ABL1, ATM, BLM, CDKN1B, E2F1, EGF, EGFR, ESR1, HDAC2, IFNAR2, IFNG, IL2, IRF1, MTOR, MYC, PARP2, POT1, RAD1, RAD50, RBBP4, RBBP7, SAP30, SIN3A, SIN3B, SMG6, SP1, SP3, TERF1, TERF2IP, TERT, TGFB1, TNKS, UBE3A, WRN, WT1, ZNFX1) in BLCA (|Pearson R| > 0.5 and P < 0.001) were identified. Here, IRF1 is linked to bladder transitional cell carcinoma.
