Genetic variation of pre-mRNA alternative splicing in human populations.
Wiley interdisciplinary reviews. RNA - 1 Jan 2000

Abstract excerpt
The precise splicing outcome of a transcribed gene is controlled by complex interactions between cis regulatory splicing signals and trans-acting regulators. In higher eukaryotes, alternative splicing is a prevalent mechanism for generating transcriptome and proteome diversity. Alternative splicing can modulate gene function, affect organismal phenotype and cause disease. Common genetic variation that affects...
