NCIt synonyms : Survival Associated Mitochondrial Melanoma Specific Oncogenic Non-Coding RNA wt Allele; Long Intergenic Non-Protein Coding RNA 1212 Gene; LincRNA 1212; Survival Associated Mitochondrial Melanoma Specific Oncogenic Non-Coding RNA (Sammson),
Long Non-Coding RNA Gene; Survival-Associated Mitochondrial Melanoma-Specific Oncogenic Noncoding RNA Gene; LINC01212; Long Intergenic Noncoding RNA 1212 Gene;
NCIt definition : Human SAMMSON wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 3p13 and is approximately
16 kb in length. This allele, which encodes survival associated mitochondrial melanoma
specific oncogenic non-coding RNA, is involved in the positive regulation of melanoma
cell survival.;
NCIt note : The SAMMSON gene and its neighboring gene MITF are coamplified in approximately 10%
of melanomas. (Nature. 2016; 531: 518-522.);
