Targeted Exon Skipping to Correct Exon Duplications in the Dystrophin Gene
Molecular Therapy - Nucleic Acids, 2014 Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a severe muscle-wasting disease caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene that ablate functional protein expression. Although exonic deletions are the most common Duchenne muscular dystrophy lesion, duplications account for 10-15% of reported disease-causing mutations, and exon 2 is the most commonly duplicated exon ...

ExonSurfer: a web-tool to design primers at exon–exon junctions
BMC GenomicsAbstract Background Reverse transcription quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) with intercalating dyes is one of the main techniques to assess gene expression levels used in basic and applied research as well as in diagnostics. However, primer design for RT-qPCR can be complex due to the high demands on primer quality.

Sorting Intolerant from Tolerant and PolyPhen-2 Algorithms: A Variation in Exon 14 of ATP7B Gene among 4 West Iraqi Families with Wilson’s Disease [PDF]
Al-Anbar Medical Journal, 2023 Background: Wilson disease (WD) is a genetic disorder (autosomal recessive) that affects copper metabolism. A favorable prognosis for WD can be achieved with early diagnosis and treatment.

A novel AIRE mutation leads to autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type-1
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type-1 (APS-1) is a rare inherited monogenic autoimmune disease characterized by the presence of at least two of three following major clinical features: chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis, hypoparathyroidism, and adrenal

JuncDB: an exon–exon junction database [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Research, 2015 Intron positions upon the mRNA transcript are sometimes remarkably conserved even across distantly related eukaryotic species. This has made the comparison of intron-exon architectures across orthologous transcripts a very useful tool for studying various evolutionary processes.

Mutation analysis of exon 5 of PAH gene in phenylketonuria patients from Golestan Province, Iran [PDF]
Journal of Shahrekord University of Medical Sciences, 2022 Background and aims: In the phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene, various mutations are mainly responsible for phenylketonuria (PKU). After thalassemia, PKU is considered as the most common autosomal recessive disease among Iranian population. Therefore,

Molecular Cell, 2010 Pathways of intron/exon specification that drive spliceosome assembly remain unclear. In this issue of Molecular Cell, Schneider et al. (2010) extensively characterize complexes formed on exons, demonstrating unexpected components and providing insights into the switch from cross-exon to cross-intron interactions.

Microorganisms, 2022 The conventionally clear distinction between exons and introns in eukaryotic genes is actually blurred. To illustrate this point, consider sequences that are retained in mature mRNAs about 50% of the time: how should they be classified?
