The HOX transcript antisense intergenic RNA (HOTAIR), a well-known long noncoding RNA (lncRNA), has been widely identified to participate in pathogenesis of multiple cancers. An aberrant up-regulation and biological functions have been observed in gastric cancer (GC). A common single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) (rs12826786 C > T) at the HOTAIR has been reported to influence HOTAIR expression, but its association with GC has yet to be investigated in Turkish population.
