Functional Analysis of cis-Acting Elements Regulating the Alternative Splicing of Human CFTR Exon 9
1 Dec 1999
Abstract excerpt
The rate of exon 9 exclusion from the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) mRNA is associated with monosymptomatic forms of cystic fibrosis. Exon 9 alternative splicing is modulated by a polymorphic polythymidine tract within its 3' splice site. We have generated a minigene carrying human CFTR exon 9 with its flanking intronic sequences and set up an in vivo model to study the cis-acting DNA...
