Detection of aberrant splicing events in RNA-seq data using FRASER
Aberrant splicing is a major contributor to rare disease, but detection accuracy using current methods is limited. Here, the authors develop an algorithm that detects aberrant splicing and intron retention events from RNA-seq data and apply it to ...

Regulation of RNA Splicing: Aberrant Splicing Regulation and Therapeutic Targets in Cancer
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 ...

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 ...

Restoration of correct splicing in IVSI-110 mutation of β-globin gene with antisense oligonucleotides: implications and applications in functional assay development [PDF]
Objective(s): The use of antisense oligonucleotides (AOs) to restore normal splicing by blocking the recognition of aberrant splice sites by the spliceosome represents an innovative means of potentially controlling certain inherited disorders affected by

Modulation the alternative splicing of GLA (IVS4+919G>A) in Fabry disease. [PDF]
While a base substitution in intron 4 of GLA (IVS4+919G>A) that causes aberrant alternative splicing resulting in Fabry disease has been reported, its molecular mechanism remains unclear.

Alteration of introns in a hyaluronan synthase 1 (HAS1) minigene convert Pre-mRNA [corrected] splicing to the aberrant pattern in multiple myeloma (MM): MM patients harbor similar changes. [PDF]
Aberrant pre-mRNA splice variants of hyaluronan synthase 1 (HAS1) have been identified in malignant cells from cancer patients. Bioinformatic analysis suggests that intronic sequence changes can underlie aberrant splicing.

Therapeutic Targeting of Alternative Splicing: A New Frontier in Cancer Treatment
The ability for cells to harness alternative splicing enables them to diversify their proteome in order to carry out complex biological functions and adapt to external and internal stimuli. The spliceosome is the multiprotein-RNA complex charged with the

Alternative splicing in breast cancer
Alternative splicing allows a gene to produce multiple proteins and is the main source of human proteome diversity. Aberrant regulation of alternative splicing produces proteins with different structures and can lead to altered protein function ...
