Abstract excerpt
Genetic mutations are involved in Mendelian disorders. Unbuffered intronic mutations in gene variants can generate aberrant splice sites in mutant transcripts, resulting in mutant isoforms of proteins with modulated expression, stability, and function in diseased cells. Here, we identify a deep intronic variant, c.794_1403A>G, in CRTAP by genome sequencing of a male fetus with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) type...
