Skipping of exon 9 of human CFTR in YAC-transgenic mice.
Genomics - 1 Oct 2001
Manson A, Huxley C
Abstract excerpt
Exon 9 of the human gene CFTR is skipped in some mRNA transcripts in human tissues. The level of skipping correlates with the number of TG's and T's in the 5' splice acceptor of exon 9. Poorly spliced alleles are associated with mild cystic fibrosis related phenotypes. Here we describe transgenic mice carrying a yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) with the intact human gene CFTR. When the YAC carries 10 TG's and 7...
