Thrilled to re-share our tweetorial on Bluesky: now out in @cp-cell.bsky.social (🔗 tinyurl.com/3a55tsky) - we present a framework to accelerate variant classification, diagnosis & treatment of inborn errors of immunity. A dream MD/PhD project, which has already led to the treatment of a patient.

Following this, @joachimdejonghe.bsky.social and @gregfindlay.bsky.social led a beautiful saturation genome editing study to help clarify the impact of mutations across the full length of #RNU4-2. Here’s the study on @medrxivpreprint.bsky.social:

Super excited that our two companion papers on saturation genome editing (SGE) of RNU4-2 and discovery of a novel recessive neurodevelopmental disorder (NDD) were published yesterday 🥳

Recently, de novo variants in an 18 nucleotide region in the centre of RNU4-2 were shown to cause ReNU syndrome, a syndromic neurodevelopmental disorder (NDD) that is predicted to affect tens of thous...
Saturation genome editing of RNU4-2 identifies the functional and clinical impact of variants across the entire gene and delineates variants that cause a new recessive neurodevelopmental disorder distinct from ReNU syndrome.www.nature.com
We're thrilled to introduce PromoterAI — a tool for accurately identifying promoter variants that impact gene expression. 🧵 (1/)
I am absolutely delighted to share our work describing a new *recessive* condition caused by variants in #RNU4-2. Yes, that #RNU4-2!

We're recruiting early career Group Leaders this autumn! I cannot think of a better place to build a lab. Come join us! 👇
Check out @ckajba.bsky.social and Michael Herger's concise description of their recent work. Thanks to Nature Reviews Genetics for featuring this.

This was a great collaboration with @joachimdejonghe.bsky.social and @chloeterwagne.bsky.social
Genetic variants in RNU4-2, which encodes U4, a key non-coding small nuclear RNA (snRNA) component of the major spliceosome, were recently shown to cause a prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder (NDD) ...
