Abstract excerpt
Mutations affecting constitutive splice donor sites (5'ss) are among the most frequent genetic defects that disrupt the normal splicing process. Pre-mRNA splicing requires the correct identification of a number of cis-acting elements in an ordered fashion. By disrupting the complementarity of the 5'ss with the endogenous small nuclear RNA U1 (U1 snRNA), the key component of the spliceosomal U1 ribonucleoprotein,...
