Also known as CHROME
Summary
CHROMR (cholesterol induced regulator of metabolism RNA, HGNC:54059) is a long non-coding RNA gene on chromosome 2q31.2.
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).
