KCNQ1 downstream neighbour (KCNQ1DN) is a
long non-coding RNA
Long non-coding RNAs (long ncRNAs, lncRNA) are a type of RNA, generally defined as transcripts more than 200 nucleotides that are not translated into protein. This arbitrary limit distinguishes long ncRNAs from small non-coding RNAs, such as mic ...

CDKN1C
Cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1C (p57, Kip2), also known as CDKN1C, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the ''CDKN1C'' imprinted gene.
Function
Cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1C is a tight-binding inhibitor of several G1 cyclin/ ...
and
KCNQ1 genes. It is an
imprinted gene, expressed from the maternal allele. Reduced expression of KCNQ1DN is observed in
Wilms' tumours.
