NCIt definition : Human CDKN2B-AS1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 9p21.3 and is approximately
126 kb in length. This allele, which encodes CDKN2B antisense RNA 1, is involved in
epigenetic silencing of nearby genes. Loss of expression of the gene may be associated
with increased susceptibility for cardiovascular disease, melanoma and several other
cancers, intracranial aneurysm, type-2 diabetes, periodontitis, Alzheimer's disease,
endometriosis, frailty in the elderly, and glaucoma.;
