potential prognostic value (indirectly via ceRNA-related mRNAs); candidate diagnostic biomarkers or potential therapeutic targets (as a group of circRNAs)
hsa_circ_0067163 is down-regulated in colorectal cancer and is included as a hub circRNA in the study’s ceRNA network. The paper describes it as a sponge of hsa-miR-424-5p with downstream association to TPM2 in the constructed circRNA-miRNA-mRNA network.
