mRNA Metabolism and hereditary disorders: a tale of surveillance and escape.

Abstract excerpt

The exploration of the molecular origin of hereditary diseases focused on genes and proteins for many years. Recently, mRNA has gained increasing attention. Most human genes contain introns and a considerable proportion of transcripts are not only alternatively spliced but also regulated posttranscriptionally in manifold ways. mRNA processing as well as a complex network of interactions between the steps of gene...
