RNA, U6 small nuclear 1104, pseudogene (RNU6-1104P)

RNU6-1104P is a designated human pseudogene related to the U6 small nuclear RNA gene family[1][6][7]. U6 snRNA is a highly conserved non-coding RNA that is a functional component of the spliceosome, the complex responsible for intron removal during mRNA splicing[3][5]. While functional U6 snRNAs have crucial roles in splicing and post-transcriptional mRNA processing, RNU6-1104P itself does not encode functional snRNA nor participate in these processes. Pseudogenes such as RNU6-1104P result from duplication or retrotransposition events; they retain sequence similarity to their parent gene but lack regulatory elements, proper transcription, or functionality[1][6][7]. There is no evidence from current genomic or biomedical databases (GeneCards, NCBI Gene) that this pseudogene is involved in disease, or that its sequence or transcription product serve as a biomarker or therapeutic target[1][6]. While rare pseudogenes can influence gene regulation (usually by acting as competing endogenous RNAs or via epigenetic effects), no such role is documented for RNU6-1104P.
