Genetic variants of LncRNAs HOTTIP and MEG3 influence nasopharyngeal carcinoma susceptibility and clinicopathologic characteristics in the Southern Chinese population

Abstract

Recent studies have indicated that HOTTIP and MEG3 are associated with the initiation and progression of various types of tumors, including nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). This investigation aimed to elucidate the impact of HOTTIP and MEG3 polymorphisms on the susceptibility and clinicopathologic characteristics of NPC.
