The human FENDRR gene is 3,099 bp in length, located at chr3q13.31, and consists of four exons. Xu et al. has shown that FENDRR is dramatically downregulated in gastric cancers and that the low expression of FENDRR is associated with invasion depth, tumor stage, lymphatic metastasis and patient survival time. The gene discussed is FENDRR; the disease is neoplasm.
