Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: ReNU syndrome is a neurodevelopmental disorder (NDD) caused by pathogenic variants in RNU4-2, a non-coding gene encoding the U4 small nuclear RNA (snRNA). As a critical component of the major spliceosome, U4 snRNA is essential for pre-mRNA splicing; however, RNU4-2 is not captured by conventional exome sequencing (ES), often leaving affected individuals undiagnosed. METHODS: To evaluate the...
