Despite studies indicating that long noncoding RNAs, or lncRNAs, can act as proto-oncogenes, the implications of large numbers of cancer-associated variants found within noncoding RNA loci remain largely unknown. Here, we draw upon emerging studies to speculate on how variants of lncRNAs might play a role in cancer development.
