Abstract excerpt
Previous studies have identified a single nucleotide polymorphism that significantly increases the splicing of variable exon 4 in transcripts of the human protein-tyrosine phosphatase CD45. Strikingly, the presence of this polymorphism correlates with susceptibility to the autoimmune disease multiple sclerosis. In this study we investigated the mechanism by which the polymorphism enhances splicing of CD45 exon 4....
