Abstract excerpt
Several unclassified variants (UV) of BRCA1 can be deleterious by affecting normal pre-mRNA splicing. Here, we investigated the consequences at the mRNA level of the frequently encountered c.5242C>A UV in BRCA1 exon 18. We show that the c.5242C>A variant induces skipping of exon 18 in UV carriers and in vitro. This alteration predicted to disrupt the first BRCT domain of BRCA1. We show that two splicing...
