Abstract excerpt
Small consensus sequences have been defined for RNA splicing, but questions about splicing in humans remain unanswered. Analysis of germline mutations in the factor IX gene offers a highly advantageous system for studying the mutational process in humans. In a sample of 860 families with hemophilia B, 9% of independent mutations are likely to disrupt splicing as their primary mode of action. This includes 26...
