Small nucleolar RNA ENSG00000212397 (ENSG00000212397)

ENSG00000212397 is a small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA) gene found in the human genome. snoRNAs are non-coding RNAs that function primarily to guide chemical modifications (such as methylation or pseudouridylation) of other RNA molecules, typically ribosomal RNAs or small nuclear RNAs. They are not protein-coding and are generally not direct molecular targets for drugs or typical therapeutic intervention. This locus may be differentially expressed in specific biological or disease contexts, as with some other non-coding RNAs, but is not itself a standard drug target. ENSG00000212397 has been included in transcriptome studies examining RNA expression changes in neurodevelopmental disorders, but there is no indication that it encodes a protein or acts as a classic 'therapeutic target' like a receptor, enzyme, or transporter[3].
