Abstract excerpt
The vast majority of deeply intronic genomic variants are benign, but some extremely rare or private deep intronic variants lead to exonification of intronic sequence with abnormal transcriptional consequences. Damaging variants of this class are likely underreported as causes of disease for several reasons: Most clinical DNA and RNA testing does not include full intronic sequences; many of these variants lie in...
