SUCLG2-AS1
The SUCLG2-AS1 Gene: A Fascinating Tale of RNA and Disease
Description
The SUCLG2-AS1 gene, located on chromosome 12q24.31, produces a long non-coding RNA molecule (lncRNA). LncRNAs are a type of RNA that do not code for proteins but play crucial roles in gene regulation. SUCLG2-AS1 is one such lncRNA that has garnered significant attention for its involvement in various biological processes and diseases.
Associated Diseases
SUCLG2-AS1 has been implicated in several diseases, including:
- Gastric Cancer: High levels of SUCLG2-AS1 have been associated with increased cell proliferation, invasion, and metastasis in gastric cancer.
- Lung Cancer: Elevated expression of SUCLG2-AS1 promotes cell growth and migration in non-small cell lung cancer.
- Breast Cancer: Dysregulation of SUCLG2-AS1 contributes to breast cancer progression and poor prognosis.
- Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Increased SUCLG2-AS1 expression is linked to liver cancer growth and metastasis.
Did you Know ?
Studies have shown that patients with high SUCLG2-AS1 levels in their tumors have a significantly worse overall survival rate compared to those with low levels.
