Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA)

Definition
AI-generated

RNA longer than ~200 nt without a strong protein-coding reading frame; many regulate chromatin and splicing.

Why it matters in GWAS

GWAS hits are interpreted through gene structure, regulation, and variant consequence; molecular vocabulary connects association statistics to mechanism.

Example usage

"Downstream interpretation uses Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) to link statistical findings to biological context."
