The USP30-AS1 lncRNA is an antisense transcript to the USP30 gene that has been implicated in mitochondrial quality control in some cancers and also in the progression of virus-induced cancers such as malignant cervical tumors 61, 73, and is mainly upregulated in those SARS-CoV-2 patients with higher viral loads (Figure 3D). The gene discussed is USP30; the disease is cervical cancer.
