Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genetic screening of long QT syndrome (LQTS) fails to identify disease-causing mutations in about 30% of patients. So far, molecular screening has focused mainly on coding sequence mutations or on substitutions at canonical splice sites. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to explore the possibility that intronic variants not at canonical splice sites might affect splicing regulatory elements,...
