Prevalence, parameters, and pathogenic mechanisms for splice-altering acceptor variants that disrupt the AG exclusion zone
25 Jun 2022
Abstract excerpt
Predicting the pathogenicity of acceptor splice-site variants outside the essential AG is challenging, due to high sequence diversity of the extended splice-site region. Critical analysis of 24,445 intronic extended acceptor splice-site variants reported in ClinVar and the Leiden Open Variation Database (LOVD) demonstrates 41.9% of pathogenic variants create an AG dinucleotide between the predicted branchpoint...
