RNA, U6 small nuclear 955, pseudogene (RNU6-955P)

RNA, U6 small nuclear 955, pseudogene (RNU6-955P), is a human pseudogene classified as a small nuclear RNA (snRNA) pseudogene[1][6][7]. Pseudogenes such as RNU6-955P are DNA sequences resembling known genes but are generally considered nonfunctional at the protein-coding level and do not produce a functional protein product[2][6]. While a minority of pseudogenes have been shown to produce noncoding RNA transcripts affecting regulatory networks—such as acting as decoys for miRNAs or modulating parental gene expression—there are no studies specifically implicating RNU6-955P in these functions[2]. It is not considered a therapeutic target, and no drugs or clinical biomarkers are associated with this gene. The gene is formally recognized and named by the HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee (HGNC ID: 47918)[7].
