Diagnostics of pathogenic splicing mutations: does bioinformatics cover all bases?

Abstract excerpt

Pathogenic splicing alterations caused by point mutations in both splice sites and auxiliary cis-regulatory elements are increasingly recognized as an important mechanism through which gene mutations cause human disease. Unfortunately, in routine genetic diagnostic settings, splicing mutations may escape identification, due to the lack of RNA samples. Since most patients are genotyped only, any computational...
