Target
LINC00951
Molecular classification
Long non-coding RNA, lincRNA
01

Overview

Long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 951 (LINC00951) is a long non-coding RNA gene found at human chromosome 6p21.2 that does not encode a protein but may regulate gene expression at multiple levels. It is studied primarily for its involvement in cancer through single-nucleotide polymorphisms (e.g., rs11752942) that can be associated with susceptibility to various malignancies, including esophageal cancer and head and neck cancer. While SNPs within LINC00951 may influence cancer risk in certain populations, direct evidence of functional involvement is limited, and its use as a therapeutic target or clinical biomarker remains investigational.
