Genetic modulation of RNA splicing rescues BRCA2 function in mutant cells.

Abstract excerpt

Variants in the hereditary cancer-associated BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes can alter RNA splicing, producing transcripts that encode internally truncated yet potentially functional proteins. However, few studies have quantitatively analyzed variant-specific splicing isoforms. Here, we investigated cells heterozygous and homozygous for the BRCA2:c.681+5G>C variant. Using droplet digital RT-PCR, we identified two...
