Regulation of RNA Splicing: Aberrant Splicing Regulation and Therapeutic Targets in Cancer [PDF]
RNA splicing is a critical step in the maturation of precursor mRNA (pre-mRNA) by removing introns and exons. The combination of inclusion and exclusion of introns and exons in pre-mRNA can generate vast diversity in mature mRNA from a limited number of ...

Aberrant Alternative Splicing Is Another Hallmark of Cancer [PDF]
The vast majority of human genes are alternatively spliced. Not surprisingly, aberrant alternative splicing is increasingly linked to cancer. Splice isoforms often encode proteins that have distinct and even antagonistic properties.

Aurora kinase A regulates cancer-associated RNA aberrant splicing in breast cancer [PDF]
The contribution of oncogenes to tumor-associated RNA splicing and the relevant molecular mechanisms therein require further elaboration. Here, we show that oncogenic Aurora kinase A (AURKA) promotes breast cancer-related RNA aberrant splicing in a ...

All reported non-canonical splice site variants in GLA cause aberrant splicing. [PDF]
AbstractBackgroundFabry disease is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder caused by insufficient α-galactosidase A (GLA) activity resulting from variants in theGLAgene, which leads to glycosphingolipid accumulation and life-threatening, multi-organ complications. Approximately 50 variants have been reported that cause splicing abnormalities inGLA. Most

CLN6-related continuum phenotype caused by aberrant splicing. [PDF]
AbstractNeuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs) are genetically heterogeneous neurodegenerative disorders, characterized by progressive cognitive and motor decline, epilepsy, visual impairment, and shortened life‐expectancy. CLN6‐related NCLs include both late‐infantile and adult myoclonic form.

A method of predicting changes in human gene splicing induced by genetic variants in context of cis-acting elements [PDF]
Background Polymorphic variants and mutations disrupting canonical splicing isoforms are among the leading causes of human hereditary disorders. While there is a substantial evidence of aberrant splicing causing Mendelian diseases, the implication of ...
