Historically, the long-held protein-centered bias has denoted 98% of the human genome as 'Junk' DNA. However, the current work has shifted the perception of such 'junk' transcriptional products to functional regulatory molecules. The recent surveillance of the human transcriptome has highlighted the pivotal role of such non-coding RNA (ncRNA) molecules in diverse physiological and pathological conditions. Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is a recent class of ncRNA molecules that is still in its infancy stage. The main focus of this review is to unravel the importance of lncRNAs in the most prevalent malignancy among females which is Breast Cancer (BC). A specific focus on lncRNAs as prognostic markers among BC patients showing molecular subtype heterogeneity was also tackled in this review. Finally, the functional and the mechanistic roles of such booming ncRNA molecules in shaping the fate of the BC progression have been highlighted.
