Abstract excerpt
Background: Splicing is the molecular mechanism to produce mature messenger RNA (mRNA) before its translation into protein. It is estimated that 50% of disease-causing mutations disrupt splicing, mostly of them affecting canonical positions. However, variants occurring in coding regions or deep-intronic variants can also affect splicing. In these cases, interpretation of the results may be challenging and...
