Splicing in disease: disruption of the splicing code and the decoding machinery.
Nature reviews. Genetics - 1 Oct 2007

Abstract excerpt
Human genes contain a dense array of diverse cis-acting elements that make up a code required for the expression of correctly spliced mRNAs. Alternative splicing generates a highly dynamic human proteome through networks of coordinated splicing events. Cis- and trans-acting mutations that disrupt the splicing code or the machinery required for splicing and its regulation have roles in various diseases, and recent...
