Abstract excerpt
Uncovering frequent motives of action by which variants impair 3' splice site (3'ss) recognition and selection is essential to improve our understanding of this complex process. Through several mini-gene experiments, we demonstrate that the pyrimidine (Y) to purine (R) transversion NM_000267.3(NF1):c.1722-11T>G, although expected to weaken the polypyrimidine tract, causes exon skipping primarily by introducing a...
