Abstract excerpt
Untranslated regions (UTRs) flank the protein-coding sequence of a gene. 5'UTR and 3' UTR sequences mediate post-transcriptional regulation via linear and structural elements, controlling RNA stability, cellular localisation and the rate of protein translation. Variants within both 5' and 3' UTRs have been shown to cause disease through a variety of diverse mechanisms. However, for these variants to be routinely...
