  • Biallelic variants in RNU2-2 cause a frequent developmental and epileptic encephalopathy.
  • These variants are associated with reduced U2-2 abundance and are distinct from dominant RNU2-2 disorders.
  • The condition is characterized by a decreased U2-2 to U2-1 ratio, serving as a diagnostic biomarker.
  • RNU2-2 syndrome is identified as the most common recessive neurodevelopmental disorder despite the gene's small size.
