Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Interpretation of genetic variants detected by sequencing of genomic DNA, which may cause splicing defects, regularly requires mRNA analysis. Usually, only bioinformatic testing is provided, because simple and non-invasive assay protocols are lacking. Furthermore, the detection of mis-splicing is often hampered by nonsense mediated mRNA decay (NMD). METHODS: Starting from a case of Pompe disease with...
