Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: GPKOW, a gene on the X-chromosome, encodes a nuclear RNA-binding protein important in messenger RNA (mRNA) processing as a spliceosome subunit. This work aims to establish GPKOW as a disease-associated gene. METHODS: We describe 3 males from 2 unrelated families with hemizygous frameshift variants affecting the last exon of GPKOW p.(Arg441SerfsTer30) and p.(Ser444GlufsTer28). The effect of...
