RNU4-2 Emerges as a Leading Cause of Rare Neurodevelopmental Disorders – Renewing Hope for Families

ReNU syndrome is a spliceosomal disorder with a defined mutational hotspot and growing global dataset. Currently ~250 confirmed cases worldwide (14 in Italy), though the true number of undiagnosed cases is estimated to be much higher: pathogenic variants are concentrated in just 13 positions of our 3 billion base-pair genome!
