Splicing Factors Induce Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Regulator Exon 9 Skipping through a Nonevolutionary Conserved Intronic Element
1 Jul 2000
Abstract excerpt
In monosymptomatic forms of cystic fibrosis such as congenital bilateral absence of vas deferens, variations in the TG(m) and T(n) polymorphic repeats at the 3' end of intron 8 of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR) gene are associated with the alternative splicing of exon 9, which results in a nonfunctional CFTR protein. Using a minigene model system, we have previously shown a direct relationship...
