NCIt definition : Six-twelve leukemia ( 5 kb) is encoded by the human RNF217-AS1 gene. This non-coding
RNA may play a role in B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.;
NCIt note : The six-twelve leukemia non-coding RNA is predominantly expressed in skeletal muscle
as a 1.6 kb transcript. Minor transcripts at 1 kb, 1.2 kb, 3 kb, 5 kb, and 7.5 kb
can be found in other tissues. (Genes Chromosomes Cancer. 1997; 18:254-268.);
