## TL;DR

PRNCR1 (prostate cancer associated non-coding RNA 1) is a gene. The public catalogues list it as a biomarker, and clinical evidence ties its variants to diagnosis, prognosis or drug response. Tied to Colorectal cancer.

## Summary

UniProt has no function text for this gene; HGNC names it "prostate cancer associated non-coding RNA 1".

CIViC holds 1 clinical evidence item and 0 assertions across 1 variant.

## Notes

- Written by scripts/fetch-cancer-genes.ts from CIViC, Open Targets, IntOGen, HGNC and UniProt; the function text is UniProt's, condensed and in UK spelling. Roles: CIViC holds 1 clinical evidence items on its variants. Evidence tier "clinical-evidence" is the strongest of those signals.
- Prevalence not recorded: none of the sources gives a positivity rate.
