Abstract excerpt
Exonic (i.e. coding) variants in genes associated with disease can exert pathogenic effects both at the protein and mRNA level, either by altering the amino acid sequence or by affecting pre-mRNA splicing. The latter is often neglected due to the lack of RNA analyses in genetic diagnostic testing. In this study we considered both pathomechanisms and performed a comprehensive analysis of nine exonic nucleotide...
