Ro RNPs are detected by autoimmune sera of patients suffering from rheumatic diseases, such as from systemic lupus erythematosus (MIM 152700) and Sjogren syndrome (MIM 270200). Ro RNPs consist of a Y RNA that is associated with the autoimmune antigen proteins Ro60 (TROVE2; MIM 600063) and La (SSB; MIM 109090), as well as other proteins. Four human Y RNAs have been identified: Y1, Y3 (RNY3; MIM 601822), Y4 (RNY4; MIM 601823), and Y5 (RNY5; MIM 601824). (Y2 is a truncated form of Y1.) Y RNAs are transcribed by RNA polymerase III and range in size from 83 to 112 nucleotides. They appear to have a functional role in chromosomal DNA replication (Christov et al., 2006 [PubMed 16943439]).[supplied by OMIM, Apr 2009]
