Abstract excerpt
The molecular basis of the skipping of constitutive exons in many messenger RNAs is not fully understood. A well-studied example is exon 9 of the human cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator gene (CFTR), in which an abbreviated polypyrimidine tract between the branch point A and the 3' splice site is associated with increased exon skipping and disease. However, many exons, both in CFTR and in other...
