Cat eye syndrome chromosome region, candidate 7 (non-protein coding) (CECR7)

Cat eye syndrome chromosome region, candidate 7 (CECR7, also known as SAHL1) is a human long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) gene located on chromosome 22. Unlike typical therapeutic targets such as receptors, enzymes, or ion channels, CECR7 is a non-protein-coding RNA and thus not a classical drug target. It is associated with cat eye syndrome and has been linked to hepatocellular carcinoma in gene-disease association databases, but there is no evidence that it interacts with drugs or serves as a biomarker or direct therapeutic target. The gene's precise molecular function is unclear, and it is categorized mainly as a genomic locus of interest rather than as a validated protein or druggable target[1][2][3][4][5][6][9][10].
