Abstract excerpt
The accurate removal of intronic sequences from pre-mRNA by the spliceosome is essential for correct gene expression, with small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs) such as U4 playing structural and regulatory roles in catalyzing this. De novo variants in the highly constrained critical region including the T-loop region of RNU4-2 have been linked to ReNU syndrome, a neurodevelopmental disorder, but the broader mutational...
