Abstract excerpt

We have isolated a novel splice variant of ER mRNA from normal endometrial tissue using RT/PCR. The variant contains an unusual splice junction formed by splicing sequences within exons 4 and 7 together. The translated protein product would be predicted to lack part of exon 4, all of exons 5 and...
