GAS8-AS1, Official Symbol GAS8-AS1provided by HGNC Official Full Name GAS8 antisense RNA 1provided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:1197 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000221819 MIM:605179; AllianceGenome:HGNC:1197 Gene type ncRNA RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as C16orf3 Summary This gene encodes a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) that may function as a tumor suppressor. Mutations in this gene have been identified in human papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) patients that abrogate the ability of encoded lncRNA to inhibit cancer cell growth.
