Abstract excerpt
This study describes a homozygous, G----A transition at the moderately conserved +5 position within the splice donor site of intron 14 in the human alpha 1(I) collagen gene. The mutation reduced the efficiency of normal splice-site selection since the exon upstream of the mutation was spliced alternatively. Moreover, the extent of alternative splicing was sensitive to the temperature at which the mutant cells...
