Abstract excerpt
Deep intronic mutations leading to pseudoexon (PE) insertions are underestimated and most of these splicing alterations have been identified by transcript analysis, for instance, the first deep intronic mutation in USH2A, the gene most frequently involved in Usher syndrome type II (USH2). Unfortunately, analyzing USH2A transcripts is challenging and for 1.8%-19% of USH2 individuals carrying a single USH2A...
