Further exploration using the datasets from the Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) Portal and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) showed that rs3825071 genotypes affected NEAT1 expression in the colon tissues, and elevated NEAT1 levels were associated with a worse survival rate in relatively younger patients (< 65 years old) with colon adenocarcinoma. Here, NEAT1 is linked to colon adenocarcinoma.
