Loc100506100
Description
Loc100506100 is a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) located on chromosome 10 in humans. LncRNAs are transcripts of RNA that do not code for proteins, but have been increasingly recognized for their important roles in gene regulation and cellular processes. Loc100506100 has been implicated in various biological functions, such as cell proliferation, apoptosis, and immune response.
Associated Diseases
Dysregulation of loc100506100 has been linked to several diseases, including:
-
Cancer: Studies have suggested that loc100506100 plays a role in the development and progression of various cancers, including breast cancer, lung cancer, and colorectal cancer. Overexpression of loc100506100 has been associated with increased tumor growth and poor prognosis.
-
Neurological disorders: Loc100506100 has been implicated in neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and multiple sclerosis. Alterations in the expression of this lncRNA have been observed in the brains of patients with these disorders.
-
Immune disorders: Loc100506100 has a role in the regulation of immune responses. Dysregulation of this lncRNA has been linked to autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus.
Did you Know ?
A study published in the journal "Nature Genetics" found that a common variant in the loc100506100 gene was associated with an increased risk of developing breast cancer. Carriers of the variant had a 15% higher risk of developing breast cancer compared to non-carriers.
