Abstract
The list of functions of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in human tissues is rapidly growing. To further underscore their critical role in human health, two reports in this issue of JCI associate altered expression of novel lncRNAs with the heritable syndromes HELLP and brachydactyly type E.
