I536T variant of RBM20 affects splicing of cardiac structural proteins that are causative for developing dilated cardiomyopathy

Abstract excerpt

Abstract RBM20 is one of the genes predisposing to dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Variants in the RS domain have been reported in many DCM patients, but the pathogenicity of variants within the RNA-recognition motif remains unknown. Two human patients with the I536T- RBM20 variant without an apparent DCM phenotype were identified in sudden death cohorts. A splicing reporter assay was performed, and an I538T...
