MKRNs also served as diverse roles in disease, like MKRN1 in transcription regulation, metabolic disorders, and tumors; MKRN2 in testis physiology, neurogenesis, apoptosis, and mutation of MKRN2 regulation signals transduction, inflammatory responses, melanoma, and neuroblastoma; MKRN3 in central precocious puberty (CPP) therapy; and MKRN4 firstly reported as a novel E3 ligase instead of a pseudogene to contribute to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). This evidence concerns the gene MKRN3 and melanoma.
