MEG8, Official Symbol MEG8provided by HGNC Official Full Name maternally expressed 8, small nucleolar RNA host geneprovided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:14574 See related MIM:613648; AllianceGenome:HGNC:14574 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 Bsr; Irm; Rian; SNHG23; SNHG24; lnc-MGC; LINC00024; NCRNA00024 Summary This gene is located in a cluster of imprinted genes on chromosome 14q32.3. It encodes a a non-protein coding transcript that is preferentially expressed from the maternal allele in skeletal muscle, and appears to be coordinately regulated with other imprinted genes in this region.
