Abstract excerpt
The choice of acceptor splice site during exon-exon splicing by the spliceosome is determined by a variety of factors. We report here a family with a novel acceptor splice site variant within intron 1 of the α-globin gene that provides some in vivo insight into the rules governing RNA splicing in homo sapiens. A 2-year-old female with Hb H disease, was found to have not only three α-globin genes deleted (-...
