Growth arrest specific transcript 5 in tumorigenesis process: An update on the expression pattern and genomic variants
Growth arrest-specific 5 (GAS5) is a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) with diverse functions in regulation of gene expression. Most studies have reported a role for this lncRNA in induction of cell apoptosis and suppression of tumorigenesis process. Although few studies demonstrated up-regulation of thi...
