Abstract excerpt
Mutations within exons are responsible for aberrant splicing of pre-mRNA in several human disease genes and in some viral systems. Nonsense, missense, and even synonymous mutations can induce aberrant skipping of the mutant exon, producing nonfunctional proteins. In this paper, we describe the effect on the splicing efficiency of the synonymous variant 2811 G>T [Gly893Gly] detected in a patient of Italian descent...
