CASC19 and cancer: To ensure the reliability of our results, we selected two lncRNAs from the 11 that show a specific expression in CRC samples (Fig. 2C) for further validation: CASC19 (Cancer Susceptibility candidate 19; ENSG00000254166.2) and LINC00460 (long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 460; ENSG00000233532.5).
