Abstract excerpt
A significant proportion of mutations underlying genetic disorders affect pre-mRNA splicing, generally causing partial or total skipping of exons, and/or inclusion of pseudoexons. These changes often lead to the formation of aberrant transcripts that can induce nonsense-mediated decay, and a subsequent lack of functional protein. For some genetic disorders, including inherited retinal diseases (IRDs), reproducing...
