Pan-cancer analysis based on the TCGA database (https://portal.gdc.cancer.gov/) showed that SLC16A1-AS1 exhibits a high expression pattern in multiple gastrointestinal carcinomas including LIHC, colon adenocarcinoma (COAD), cholangiocarcinoma (CHOL), and esophageal carcinoma (ESCA) (Supplementary Fig. S2K). This evidence concerns the gene SLC16A1 and digestive system carcinoma.
