Abstract excerpt
Splicing defects account for 16% of the mutant alleles in the PCCA and PCCB genes, encoding both subunits of the propionyl-CoA carboxylase (PCC) enzyme, defective in propionic acidemia, one of the most frequent organic acidemias causing variable neurological impairment. Most of the splicing mutations identified affect the conserved 3' splice (3' ss) or 5' splice (5' ss) sites, the latter predictably through...
