Abstract excerpt
The interpretation of the numerous sequence variants of unknown biological and clinical significance (UV for "unclassified variant") found in genetic screenings represents a major challenge in the molecular diagnosis of genetic disease, including cancer susceptibility. A fraction of UVs may be deleterious because they affect mRNA splicing. Here, we describe a functional splicing assay based on a minigene...
