Abstract excerpt
The alternatively spliced exon 9 of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene codes for the initial part of the amino-terminal nucleotide-binding fold of CFTR. A unique feature of the acceptor splice site preceding this exon is a variable length polymorphism within the polypyrimidine tract influencing the extent of exon 9 skipping in CFTR mRNA. We investigated this repeat for its...
