🧪 C16 – U R New: RNU-related disease discoveries
A fascinating session on the newly discovered syndrome ✨. I have to highlight the first talk on U4 and U6 in Retinitis Pigmentosa — a project we had the chance to collaborate on! 🙌

De novo and inherited dominant variants in U4 and U6 snRNAs cause retinitis pigmentosa
The U4 small nuclear RNA (snRNA) forms a duplex with the U6 snRNA and, together with U5 and ∼30 proteins, is part of the U4/U6.U5 tri-snRNP complex, located at the core of the major spliceosome. Recen...

In 2024, I crossed Portugal to join Ana Teresa Maia & Joana Xavier's team in Faro, diving deep into allelic imbalances & cis-regulatory SNPs. Lived 6 amazing months in Faro—unreal sunsets included! 🌅 Grateful for this opportunity!
