WT1-AS WT1 antisense RNA

Gene ID: 51352, updated on 22-Oct-2024
Gene type: ncRNA
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. [provided by RefSeq, May 2014]
