LncRNAs join hands together to regulate neuroblastoma progression.

Trait associated single nucleotide polymorphisms often overlap with noncoding transcripts but their contribution to disease phenotype is poorly investigated. Our study on neuroblastoma risk associated 6p22.3 locus derived long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) demonstrates that functional co-operation between sense-antisense CASC15 and NBAT1 lncRNAs control neuroblastoma progression via regulating SOX9-CHD7-USP36 regulatory axis.
