Single base‐pair substitutions in exon–intron junctions of human genes: nature, distribution, and consequences for mRNA splicing

Explore this paper's citation graph

Summary

A meta‐analysis of 478 disease‐associated splicing mutations, in 38 different genes, reveals that exon skipping was the preferred phenotype when the immediate vicinity of the affected exon–intron junctions was devoid of alternative splice‐sites, and estimates that some 1.6% of disease‐causing missense substitutions in human genes are likely to affect the mRNA splicing phenotype.
