Abstract excerpt
The very common GNB3 c.825C>T polymorphism (rs5443) is present in approximately half of all human chromosomes.

Paradoxically the presence of the GNB3 825T allele, in exon 10, introduces a pathogenic alternative RNA splice site into the middle of exon 9. To attempt to correct this...
