Nuclear paraspeckle assembly transcript 1 (NEAT1, a lncRNA) is transcribed from the familial tumor syndrome multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) type 1 loci on chromosome 11q13.1 and encodes two transcriptional variants, NEAT1-1 (3756 bp) and NEAT1-2 (22,743 bp) (Bond and Fox, 2009; Figure 3A). Here, NEAT1 is linked to multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1.
