LINC02242

Summary

LINC02242 (long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 2242, HGNC:53127) is a long non-coding RNA gene on chromosome 5q13.1.

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).
