Two recent papers have identified genetic variants in the noncoding gene RNU4-2 to cause a frequent neurodevelopmental disorder. This work will have a substantial impact on the rare disease community, leading to thousands of diagnoses worldwide. These studies also highlight the untapped diagnostic potential of noncoding regions.
最近的两篇论文已经确定非编码基因RNU4-2中的基因变异会导致一种常见的神经发育障碍。这项工作将对罕见病群体产生重大影响,在全球范围内带来数千例诊断。这些研究还突出了非编码区域尚未开发的诊断潜力。
