Abstract excerpt
Splicing is an essential cellular process which is carried out by the spliceosome in order to remove the introns and join the exons present in pre-mRNA transcripts. A variety of spliceosomal mutations have been recently identified in the myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), a heterogeneous group of hematopoietic stem cell malignancies, revealing a new leukemogenic pathway involving spliceosomal dysfunction. Splicing...
