<i>Alu</i> insertion-mediated dsRNA structure formation with pre-existing <i>Alu</i> elements as a novel disease-causing mechanism
2020-01-31
Abstract excerpt
We previously identified a homozygous Alu insertion variant ( Alu _Ins) in the 3’-UTR of the SPINK1 gene as the cause of a novel pediatric disease. Although we established that Alu _Ins leads to the complete loss of SPINK1 mRNA expression, the precise mechanisms remained elusive. Here we aimed to elucidate these mechanisms through a hypothesis-driven approach. Initially, we speculated that Alu _Ins could ind...
