FAM242B

Summary

FAM242B (family with sequence similarity 242 member B, HGNC:53872) is a long non-coding RNA gene on chromosome 20q11.1.

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).
