Key result
RNU4-2 gene variants causing ReNU syndrome account for ~0.4% of neurodevelopmental disorders.
Why the study?
ReNU syndrome is a recently described autosomal dominant neurodevelopmental disorder with emerging recognition as a prevalent cause of neurodevelopmental disorders.
ReNU syndrome, caused by RNU4-2 variants, is an emerging and prevalent cause of neurodevelopmental disorders.
ReNU syndrome, caused by pathogenic variants in the RNU4-2 snRNA gene, is an autosomal dominant neurodevelopmental disorder described in 2024. It is associated with global developmental delays, intellectual disability, seizures, hypotonia, microcephaly, and other features such as short stature, visual impairment, and gastrointestinal issues. Recent literature suggests that ReNU syndrome is emerging as one of the most prevalent causes for neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), estimated to account for approximately 0.4% of NDDs.

Driver et al. (2026) studied ReNU syndrome. Pathogenic variants in the RNU4-2 snRNA gene was evaluated. Pathogenic variants in the RNU4-2 snRNA gene, causing ReNU syndrome, are estimated to account for approximately 0.4% of neurodevelopmental disorders.
