Abstract excerpt
We report a defect in splicing of precursor messenger RNA (pre-mRNA) resulting from a naturally occurring mutation of the gene encoding purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) in a patient with PNP-deficient severe combined immunodeficiency. This defects results from a G to T transversion at the terminal nucleotide of exon 2 within the 5' splice site of intron 2 and causes skipping of exon 2 during processing of...
