high expression improves survival time in patients with CRC; candidate diagnostic biomarkers or potential therapeutic targets (as a group of circRNAs)
hsa_circ_0023990 is up-regulated in colorectal cancer and originates from NOX4. In the study’s predicted ceRNA context, higher hsa_circ_0023990 expression is associated with longer survival time, linked to higher expression of SOX1, AQP6 and ITGBL1.
