Summary
SNORD61 (small nucleolar RNA, C/D box 61, HGNC:10218) is a small nucleolar RNA gene on chromosome Xq26.3.
Small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs involved in RNA processing. Box C/D class snoRNAs are involved in site-specific 2-prime-O-ribose methylation of preribosomal RNA precursors. This snoRNA is located in an intron of the RNA binding motif protein, X-linked gene (RBMX).

At a glance
- Gene type: non-coding (snoRNA) — no protein product; not a drug target. Variant/disease associations are omitted (they would be positional, from an overlapping protein-coding gene).
