Abstract excerpt
Synonymous single nucleotide variants (sSNVs) have been implicated in various genetic disorders through alterations of pre-mRNA splicing, mRNA structure and miRNA regulation. However, their impact on synonymous codon usage and protein translation remains to be elucidated in clinical context. Here, we explore the functional impact of sSNVs in the Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) gene, identified in patients affected by...
