Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Alteration of exon splice enhancers (ESE) may cause autosomal dominant GH deficiency (IGHD II). Disruption analysis of a (GAA) (n) ESE motif within exon 3 by introducing single-base mutations has shown that single nucleotide mutations within ESE1 affect pre-mRNA splicing. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PATIENTS: Confirming the laboratory-derived data, a heterozygous splice enhancer mutation in exon 3...
