Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In von Willebrand factor (VWF) the effect of mutations potentially affecting mRNA processing or splicing is less predictable than that of other mutations (e.g. nonsense or missense substitutions). Bioinformatic tools can provide a valuable means to determine the consequences of potential splice site mutations (PSSM), but functional studies are mandatory to elucidate the true effect of the variation...
