Dongxin Lin, Chen Wu and colleagues identify a LINC00673 variant that associates with pancreatic cancer risk in Han Chinese cohorts. They show that the variant creates a target site for miR-1231 and that LINC00673 regulates PTPN11 degradation and leads to altered SRC–ERK and STAT1-dependent signaling.
