The Exon Junction Complex and intron removal prevent re-splicing of mRNA.
Accurate splice site selection is critical for fruitful gene expression. Recently, the mammalian EJC was shown to repress competing, cryptic, splice sites (SS). However, the evolutionary generality of this remains unclear.

While 9% of human pathogenic variants have an established effect on pre-mRNA splicing, it is suspected that an additional 20% of otherwise classified variants also affect splicing.

Cx26 keratitis ichthyosis deafness syndrome mutations trigger alternative splicing of Cx26 to prevent expression and cause toxicity in vitro [PDF]
The Cx26 mRNA has not been reported to undergo alternative splicing. In expressing a series of human keratitis ichthyosis deafness (KID) syndrome mutations of Cx26 (A88V, N14K and A40V), we found the production of a truncated mRNA product.

Activation of cryptic splice sites in murine sarcoma virus-124 mutants [PDF]
We have examined splice site activation in relation to intron structure in murine sarcoma virus (MuSV)-124 RNA. MuSV-124 contains inactive murine leukemia virus env gene splice sites (termed 5' env and 3' env) as well as cryptic sites in the gag and v-mos genes (termed 5' gag and 3' mos) which are activated for thermosensitive splicing by a 1,487-base ...

Computational analysis of splicing errors and mutations in human transcripts
Background Most retained introns found in human cDNAs generated by high-throughput sequencing projects seem to result from underspliced transcripts, and thus they capture intermediate steps of pre-mRNA splicing.

Oriented scanning is the leading mechanism underlying 5' splice site selection in mammals. [PDF]
Splice site selection is a key element of pre-mRNA splicing. Although it is known to involve specific recognition of short consensus sequences by the splicing machinery, the mechanisms by which 5' splice sites are accurately identified remain ...

Activation of a cryptic 5′ splice site by U1 snRNA
In the course of analyzing 5' splice site mutations in the second intron of Schizosaccharomyces pombe cdc2, we identified a cryptic 5' junction containing a nonconsensus nucleotide at position +2. An even more unusual feature of this cryptic 5' junction was its pattern of activation. By analyzing the profile of splicing products for an extensive series

An intronic mutation in Chd7 creates a cryptic splice site, causing aberrant splicing in a mouse model of CHARGE syndrome. [PDF]
AbstractAlternate splicing is a critical regulator of gene expression in eukaryotes, however genetic mutations can cause erroneous splicing and disease. Most recorded splicing disorders are caused by mutations of splice donor/acceptor sites, however intronic mutations can affect splicing.

Summary: Predicting the pathogenicity of acceptor splice-site variants outside the essential AG is challenging, due to high sequence diversity of the extended splice-site region. Critical analysis of 24,445 intronic extended acceptor splice-site variants
