Increased expression of the long noncoding RNA CRNDE-h indicates a poor prognosis in colorectal cancer, and is positively correlated with IRX5 mRNA expression

Abstract

Our data offers convincing evidence for the first time that lncRNA CRNDE-h is associated with adverse clinical characteristics and poor prognosis, which suggests that it might play an important role in CRC development and progression and might have clinical potential as a useful prognostic predictor.
