Long non-coding RNA LINC01627 is a prognostic risk factor for epithelial ovarian cancer.

ABSTRACT: Ovarian malignancies are commonly diagnosed cancers of the female reproductive system. Recent studies have revealed that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) can regulate a variety of oncological processes. In the present study, ovarian cancer expression datasets were searched in the GEO database using the GPL570 platform. Differential lncRNA expression between normal ovarian tissues and ovarian tumors were analyzed using the R package 'limma', and patient prognosis was accessed using the package 'survival'. Four databases, GSE14001, GSE18520, GSE38666 and GSE40595, were used for the analysis. A total of 64 lncRNAs were highly expressed and 4 were downregulated within these four databases. Prognostic analysis of the 68 lncRNAs in the four databases was performed, and revealed that the expression
