Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Pre-mRNA splicing defects may have an important impact on clinical phenotype in several diseases, but often their pathogenic role is difficult to demonstrate. The aim of this study was to validate an in vitro method to assess the effects of putative splicing variants. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We studied three novel variants in vitro using a novel minigene approach and compared results with in silico and...
