Pseudouridylation is a frequent post-transcriptional modification resulting in uridine isomerization in 5-ribosyluracil, also called pseudouridine. This mechanism leads to RNA stability with an increase in base-stacking and the creation of hydrogen bonds. Recently, papers reported that variants in PUS7 in 16 patients were involved in marked growth retardation with microcephaly, associated with intellectual...
