Abstract excerpt
Deep-intronic variants that create or enhance a splice site are increasingly reported as a significant cause of monogenic diseases. However, deep-intronic variants that activate pseudoexons by affecting a branch point are extremely rare in monogenic diseases. Here, we describe a novel deep-intronic DMD variant that created a branch point in a Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patient. A 7.0-year-old boy was...
