Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Due to the limited availability of mRNA analysis data, the number of exonic variants resulting in splicing impairment is underestimated although aberrant splicing correction is a promising therapeutic option to treat monogenic diseases, including choroideremia (CHM), a rare X-linked eye disorder arising from sequence alteration of the CHM gene. Herein we report an exonic frameshift variant associated...
