Biological relevance of alternative splicing in hematologic malignancies.

Abstract excerpt

Alternative splicing (AS) is a strictly regulated process that generates multiple mRNA variants from a single gene, thus contributing to proteome diversity. Transcriptome-wide sequencing studies revealed networks of functionally coordinated splicing events, which produce isoforms with distinct or even opposing functions. To date, several mechanisms of AS are deregulated in leukemic cells, mainly due to mutations...
