Abstract excerpt
We report three individuals with bi-allelic variants in RNU6ATAC, which encodes the U6atac minor spliceosomal small nuclear RNA (snRNA), causing a multisystem minor spliceopathy. Through RNA sequencing analysis, we identified a distinctive excess of minor intron retention (MIR) in two unrelated individuals, which guided the identification of bi-allelic RNU6ATAC variants. The discovery cohort presented with...
