Abstract:
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a critical role in genomic instability and prognosis of cancer patients, but the methods to identify genomic instability-related lncRNAs have yet to be established. In the present study, to assess the prognostic value of lncRNAs associated with genomic instability in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).A computational framework was established based on the mutation hypothesis and combined lncRNA expression and somatic mutation profiles of the ccRCC genome. Furthermore, a prognostic model was developed using the genome instability-derived lncRNA signature GILncSig based on three lncRNA genes (LINC02471, LINC01234, and LINC00460) and verified using multiple independent patient cohorts.This study established an effective computational method to study the role of lncRNAs in genomic instability, with potential applications in identifying new genomic instability-related cancer biomarkers.
