WT1-AS, Official Symbol WT1-ASprovided by HGNC Official Full Name WT1 antisense RNAprovided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:18135 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000183242 MIM:607899; AllianceGenome:HGNC:18135 Gene type ncRNA RefSeq status VALIDATED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as WIT1; WIT-1; WT1AS; WT1-AS1 Summary This gene is located upstream of the Wilms tumor 1 (WT1) gene; these two genes are bi-directionally transcribed from the same promoter region. This gene is imprinted in kidney, with preferential expression from the paternal allele. Imprinting defects at chromosome 11p13 may contribute to tumorigenesis.
