RNA Analysis Enables Resolution and Reclassification of Reportedly Benign Synonymous Variants
Synonymous variants previously reported as benign present a diagnostic challenge in clinical exome sequencing. We show three cases where RNA studies demonstrated aberrant splicing and enabled reclassification of the variants. ABSTRACT Synonymous variants can significantly impact protein levels and function, particularly through alterations in RNA ...
