Somatic mutations in components of the core RNA splicing machinery, including ZRSR2, have been implicated in myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Here, Madan et al.show that ZRSR2 plays a pivotal role in splicing of the U12-type introns, while the U2-dependent splicing is largely unaffected in ZRSR2 mutant MDS bone marrow.
