RNA, U6 small nuclear 613, pseudogene (RNU6-613P)

RNU6-613P is a non-coding processed pseudogene belonging to the U6 small nuclear RNA family. Unlike its parent gene (U6 snRNA, which is involved in the spliceosome and mRNA splicing[3][5][7]), RNU6-613P does not encode a functional snRNA due to accumulated mutations and structural changes. Pseudogenes like RNU6-613P result from retrotranspositional events (often involving LINE elements) that duplicate snRNA sequences into new genomic locations where they typically lose their original function[5]. RNU6-613P is catalogued in genome databases (e.g., NCBI, Ensembl) as a human pseudogene on chromosome 2[4][8]. Processed snRNA pseudogenes are common in mammalian genomes but do not participate in canonical biological processes, have no therapeutic relevance, and are usually not associated with clinical disease or drug action[5][1].
