LINC01978

Summary

LINC01978 (long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 1978, HGNC:52806) is a long non-coding RNA gene on chromosome 17q25.3.

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).
