A Hypoxia-Related Long Non-Coding RNAs Signature Associated With Prognosis in Lower-Grade Glioma

Accumulating evidence suggests that hypoxia microenvironment and long non-coding lncRNAs (lncRNAs) exert critical roles in tumor development. Herein, we aim to develop a hypoxia-related lncRNA (HRL) model to predict the survival outcomes of patient with lower-grade glioma (LGG). The RNA-sequencing d...

Herein, we aim to develop a hypoxia-related lncRNA (HRL) model to predict the survival outcomes of patient with lower-grade glioma (LGG).
