Estimating the proportion of nonsense variants undergoing the newly described phenomenon of manufactured splice rescue.

Abstract excerpt

A recent report described a nonsense variant simultaneously creating a donor splice site, resulting in a truncated but functional protein. To explore the generalizability of this unique mechanism, we annotated >115,000 nonsense variants using SpliceAI. Between 0.61% (donor gain delta score >0.8, for high precision) and 2.57% (>0.2, for high sensitivity) of nonsense variants were predicted to create new donor...
