Abstract excerpt
Splicing mutations account for approximately 12% of the 1,890 cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene mutations described in cystic fibrosis (CF). However, their impact on pre-mRNA processing frequently remains unclear. An interesting opportunity to study CFTR transcripts in vivo involves the use of RNA from nasal brushings. Through this approach we previously identified a deep-intronic...
