Figure 6A–E and Supplementary Fig. 2A-2D showed that among all the related lincRNAs, only MALAT1, CRNDE, LINC00511, CYTOR, MUC20-OT1, LINC01089, PTV1, LINC00665 and FLVCR1-AS1 were markedly elevated in HCC, relative to normal controls. This evidence concerns the gene MALAT1 and hepatocellular carcinoma.
