Abstract excerpt
We have analyzed RNA from retinoblastoma patients and unaffected carriers with various RB1 gene mutations to determine the patterns of missplicing and associations with phenotypic expression. Most sequence alterations in or in the neighborhood of conserved splice signals that we tested resulted in simple exon skipping (15 mutations) or intron inclusion (new acceptor AG-sites, four mutations) as expected. Two...
