RNA, U1 small nuclear 98, pseudogene (RNU1-98P)

RNA, U1 small nuclear 98, pseudogene (RNU1-98P) is a **pseudogene**, classified as a non-functional segment of DNA that resembles the functional U1 small nuclear RNA (snRNA) genes but has lost its protein-coding or RNA-coding ability or is otherwise no longer expressed as a functional product[1][7]. RNU1-98P belongs to a large family of U1 snRNA pseudogenes scattered throughout the human genome, some of which may be transcribed and produce variant snRNAs that participate in mRNA processing and modulation of gene expression, though the function of most individual pseudogenes like RNU1-98P remains uncharacterized[2][5]. This locus is not considered a therapeutic target, has no known drug interactions or safety concerns, is not established as a biomarker, and has no known direct disease associations.
