Abstract excerpt
Aberrant splicing of pre-mRNA is recognized to account for a significant minority of disease-causing mutations. The N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDA) subunit gene R1 (NMDAR1) is alternatively spliced to produce eight length variants. In an examination of the NMDAR1 as a candidate gene in schizophrenia, a presumed microdeletion/insertion (del/ins) was observed in intron 10 of an African-American male near a...
