Abstract excerpt
An aberrant up-regulation of HOX transcript antisense intergenic RNA (HOTAIR), a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), is associated with human cancers including gastric cancer (GC) and worse clinicopathological features. A naturally occurring functional single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs920,778 (C→T) in the intronic enhancer of HOTAIR gene has been demonstrated to affect HOTAIR expression and cancer susceptibility....
