RNA, U6 small nuclear 850, pseudogene (RNU6-850P)

RNU6-850P is a human pseudogene corresponding to the U6 small nuclear RNA gene; unlike the canonical U6 snRNA, which is a highly conserved non-coding RNA involved in the splicing machinery of eukaryotic cells, RNU6-850P does not encode a functional RNA or protein[3][4]. Its sequence is similar to functional U6 snRNA genes, but it has accumulated mutations or is otherwise unexpressed. Pseudogenes like RNU6-850P are common in the human genome and generally have no known biological activity or disease association, nor are they pharmacologically relevant[3][4]. If your intention was to refer to the functional molecule, that would be "U6 small nuclear RNA" (abbreviated U6 snRNA or RNU6), which is not the same as RNU6-850P—a pseudogene[3][5].
