Down syndrome critical region 10 (DSCR10)

Down syndrome critical region 10 (DSCR10) is a non-protein coding RNA gene mapped to chromosome 21, specifically to the Down syndrome critical region implicated in trisomy 21 (Down syndrome)[1][5]. While its proximity to key protein-coding genes and its inclusion within "highly restricted Down syndrome critical regions" has made it a subject of interest, DSCR10 itself does not encode a protein nor has any direct molecular function or disease association been established[1][5][2]. There is currently no evidence to support its role as a receptor, enzyme, transcription factor, or drug target. Its functional significance, if any, is unknown, and ongoing research is required to determine whether its transcript has any regulatory or biological impact[2][5].
