BAALC-AS2

Summary

BAALC-AS2 (BAALC antisense RNA 2, HGNC:28595) is a long non-coding RNA gene on chromosome 8q22.3.

At a glance

• Gene type: non-coding (lncRNA) — no protein product; not a drug target. Variant/disease associations are omitted (they would be positional, from an overlapping protein-coding gene).
