Summary
This gene produces a long non-coding RNA that is overexpressed in tumor cells and may promote cancer cell metastasis. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2017]
Forensic Context
A study in human postmortem midbrain specimens from chronic cocaine abusers identified the lnc-SORCS2-1 as a long noncoding RNA significantly down-regulated (-1.62-fold) in cocaine abusers compared to matched controls [Bannon et al. DOI:10.1111/jnc.13255].
