Researchers discover genetic cause of neurodevelopment disorders

Drug Discovery World

While nearly all genes known to be involved in NDD are responsible for making proteins, RNU4-2 is not; instead, it makes an RNA molecule that plays an important role in how other genes are processed in cells. This discovery was initially made using data from the 100,000 Genomes Project, a study led by Genomics England and NHS England.
