Forensic Context

A study in human postmortem midbrain specimens from chronic cocaine abusers identified the lnc-MSX1-5 as a down-regulated long noncoding RNA (-1.35-fold) antisense to STX18, establishing it as a dysregulated transcript associated with chronic cocaine abuse [Bannon et al. DOI:10.1111/jnc.13255].
