Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mutations that alter splicing of X-linked ATP6AP2 cause a spectrum of neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative pathologies including parkinsonism in affected males. All previously reported splicing mutations increase the level of a minor isoform with skipped exon 4 (Δe4) that encodes a functionally deficient protein. OBJECTIVES: We investigated the pathogenic mechanism of a novel c.168+6T>A variant...
