Abstract excerpt
In conducting dysferlin mutational screening using blood mRNA instead of genomic DNA, we identified the occurrence of alternative splicing involving novel dysferlin exons, i.e. exons 5a and 40a, in addition to previously reported alternative splicing of exon 17. Further study employing long range RT-PCR and subcloning revealed a total of fourteen dysferlin transcripts with maintained dysferlin reading frame. The...
