A study based on head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) found the expression of LINC01296 to be increased in HNSCC cells, and overexpression of LINC01296 promoted the migration and invasion of tumor cells, suggesting that LINC01296 may be a potential diagnostic and prognostic indicator of HNSCC [79]. The gene discussed is DUXAP9; the disease is neoplasm.
