RNA, U6 small nuclear 175, pseudogene (RNU6-175P)

**RNU6-175P** is a **pseudogene of the U6 small nuclear RNA (snRNA) gene family**, specifically identified as "RNA, U6 small nuclear 175, pseudogene." U6 snRNAs are essential non-coding RNAs that form a core component of the spliceosome, the molecular machinery responsible for intron removal from pre-mRNA in eukaryotic cells[1][2]. U6 pseudogenes, like RNU6-175P, are produced primarily by retrotransposition processes and do not produce mature, functional RNA products[3]. These pseudogenes lack the biological activities associated with canonical U6 snRNA and are generally considered non-functional genomic elements. As such, **RNU6-175P is not a therapeutic target, is not associated with diseases or drug action, and does not have known biomarker or safety implications**. Identification of multiple U6 pseudogenes in the human genome reflects the evolutionary history and retrotransposition dynamics of snRNA loci, but does not confer functional or clinical significance[3].
