The emerging role of minor intron splicing in neurological disorders

Abstract excerpt

-acting factors involved in pre-mRNA processing have both been linked to splicing dysfunction that give rise to a large number of human diseases. These mutations typically affect the major splicing pathway, which excises more than 99% of all introns in humans. However, approximately 700-800 human introns feature divergent intron consensus sequences at their 5' and 3' ends and are recognized by a separate pre-mRNA...
