Show abstract
R-loops are critical for gene regulation but their contribution to human Mendelian disorders has not been explored. We show that in rare disease cohorts de novo variants are highly prevalent in genomic regions which form R-loops. Using this insight, we demonstrate that variants in two novel disorder genes, RNU2-2P and RNU5B-1, together with the recently described RNU4-2 provide a genetic explanation for an exceptionally large proportion of individuals with suspected rare Mendelian disorders.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
