Summary
SNORD27 (small nucleolar RNA, C/D box 27, HGNC:10149) is a small nucleolar RNA gene on chromosome 11q12.3.
Predicted to be involved in RNA processing. Predicted to be located in nucleolus.

At a glance
- Gene type: non-coding (snoRNA) — no protein product; not a drug target. Variant/disease associations are omitted (they would be positional, from an overlapping protein-coding gene).

Literature-anchored findings (GeneRIF, showing 2)
- Overexpression of SNORD27 is associated with high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma. (PMID:22331267)
- As part of a previously unidentified complex, SNORD27 regulates alternative splicing of the E2F7 pre-mRNA through direct RNA-RNA interaction without methylating the RNA, likely by competing with U1 snRNP. (PMID:26957605)
