Molecular impact of mutations in RNA splicing factors in cancer.

Abstract excerpt

Somatic mutations in genes encoding components of the RNA splicing machinery occur frequently in multiple forms of cancer. The most frequently mutated RNA splicing factors in cancer impact intronic branch site and 3' splice site recognition. These include mutations in the core RNA splicing factor SF3B1 as well as mutations in the U2AF1/2 heterodimeric complex, which recruits the SF3b complex to the 3' splice...
