Abstract excerpt
The biochemical and genetic characterizations of two variants that occur in BRCA1 intron 8 are presented. The variant IVS8+2T-->C induces an aberrant transcript that deletes exon 8. This exon-skipping deletion disrupts the open reading frame by juxtaposing exon 7 and exon 9 in the aberrant splice product. Theoretically, 50 abnormal residues from reading frame 2 are translated following exon 7 before a stop codon...
