<i>NF1</i> mRNA biogenesis: Effect of the genomic milieu in splicing regulation of the <i>NF1</i> exon 37 region

Abstract excerpt

We have studied the splicing regulation of NF1 exons 36 and 37. We show that they not only require an intact exonic Splicing Enhancer (ESE) within exon 37, but also need the genomic region stretching from exons 31 to 38. Any nucleotide change in two exon 37 third codon positions disrupts the ESE. The extent of exons 36 and 37 skipping due to a mutated ESE depends on the genomic context. This is a unique example...
