Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Heterozygous KMT2B variants are a common cause of dystonia. A novel synonymous KMT2B variant, c.5073C>T (p.Gly1691=) was identified in an individual with childhood-onset progressive dystonia. METHODS: The splicing impact of c.5073C>T was assessed using an in vitro exon-trapping assay. The genomic region of KMT2B exons 23-26 was cloned into the pSpliceExpress plasmid between exon 2 and 3 of the rat...
