HOXA-AS2 may be a potential prognostic biomarker in human cancers: A meta-analysis and bioinformatics analysis.

ABSTRACT: Background: Dysregulation of long non-coding (lncRNA) has been reported in various solid tumors. HOXA cluster antisense RNA 2 (HOXA-AS2) is a newly identified lncRNA with abnormal expression in several human malignancies. However, its prognostic value remains controversial. This meta-analysis synthesized available data to clarify the association between HOXA-AS2 expression levels and clinical prognosis in multiple cancers. Methods: Four public databases (Embase, PubMed, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library) were used to identify eligible studies. Hazard ratios (HRs) and odds ratios (ORs) with their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were combined to assess the correlation of HOXA-AS2 expression with survival outcomes and clinicopathological features of cancer patients.
