RNA, U6 small nuclear 790, pseudogene (RNU6-790P)

RNU6-790P (RNA, U6 small nuclear 790, pseudogene) is a genomic DNA segment closely related to the U6 small nuclear RNA gene family, arising through retrotransposition and classified as a processed pseudogene[1][4]. Unlike functional U6 snRNA, which is crucial for the spliceosome and pre-mRNA splicing, RNU6-790P does not encode a functional RNA product and is not transcribed into an active small nuclear RNA. U6 snRNA pseudogenes, like RNU6-790P, are common in the vertebrate genome and reflect evolutionary processes such as LINE-1 mediated retrotransposition, rather than biological activity or disease relevance[4][3]. If your focus is on therapeutic targets, you should refer instead to functional snRNAs such as "U6 small nuclear RNA" rather than pseudogenes like RNU6-790P[3][5].
