Abstract excerpt
Two types of mutations may lead to deficient pre-mRNA splicing: cis-acting mutations that inactivate a constitutive or alternative splice site within the pre-mRNA, and trans-acting mutations that affect the function of a basal factor of the splicing machinery. Autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (adRP) is caused by mutations in at least 12 genes, with mutations in rhodopsin being the most prevalent. Two...
