Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Splice prediction algorithms currently used in routine DNA diagnostics have limited sensitivity and specificity, therefore many potential splice variants are classified as variants of uncertain significance (VUSs). However, functional assessment of VUSs to test splicing is labour-intensive and time-consuming. We developed a decision tree to prioritise potential splice variants for functional studies...
