FAM242C

Summary

FAM242C (family with sequence similarity 242 member C, HGNC:53873) is a long non-coding RNA gene on chromosome 12q13.13.

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).
