Abstract excerpt
The cloned argininosuccinate synthetase gene from a citrullinemia patient's fibroblast cell line revealed a single base substitution (G to C) within the splice acceptor site of the last intron. The mutation abolished normal RNA splicing, and, by cDNA analysis, three abnormal splicing pathways were demonstrated. The major pathway involved the activation of a cryptic acceptor site in the last exon that resulted in...
