An Italian Multicenter Perspective Harmonization Trial for the Assessment of MET Exon 14 Skipping Mutations in Standard Reference Samples

Diagnostics, 2023
Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide. International societies have promoted the molecular analysis of MET proto-oncogene, receptor tyrosine kinase (MET) exon 14 skipping for the clinical stratification of non-small cell lung ...

Translational and Regulatory Challenges for Exon Skipping Therapies [PDF]

Human Gene Therapy, 2014
Several translational challenges are currently impeding the therapeutic development of antisense-mediated exon skipping approaches for rare diseases. Some of these are inherent to developing therapies for rare diseases, such as small patient numbers and limited information on natural history and interpretation of appropriate clinical outcome measures ...

Reverse complementary matches simultaneously promote both back-splicing and exon-skipping

BMC Genomics, 2021
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) play diverse roles in different biological and physiological environments and are always expressed in a tissue-specific manner. Especially, circRNAs are enriched in the brain tissues of almost all investigated species, including ...

Mutation update for the ACTN2 gene

Human Mutation, Volume 43, Issue 12, Page 1745-1756, December 2022., 2022
Abstract ACTN2 encodes alpha‐actinin‐2, a protein expressed in human cardiac and skeletal muscle. The protein, located in the sarcomere Z‐disk, functions as a link between the anti‐parallel actin filaments. This important structural protein also binds N‐terminal titins, and thus contributes to sarcomere stability.

High‐yield identification of pathogenic NF1 variants by skin fibroblast transcriptome screening after apparently normal diagnostic DNA testing

Human Mutation, Volume 43, Issue 12, Page 2130-2140, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is caused by inactivating mutations in NF1. Due to the size, complexity, and high mutation rate at the NF1 locus, the identification of causative variants can be challenging. To obtain a molecular diagnosis in 15 individuals meeting diagnostic criteria for NF1, we performed transcriptome analysis (RNA‐seq) on RNA

Characteristics of transposable element exonization within human and mouse [PDF]

PLoS ONE 5(6):e10907 2010, 2010
Insertion of transposed elements within mammalian genes is thought to be an important contributor to mammalian evolution and speciation. Insertion of transposed elements into introns can lead to their activation as alternatively spliced cassette exons, an event called exonization. Elucidation of the evolutionary constraints that have shaped fixation of

Using single molecule Molecular Inversion Probes as a cost‐effective, high‐throughput sequencing approach to target all genes and loci associated with macular diseases

Human Mutation, Volume 43, Issue 12, Page 2234-2250, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Macular degenerations (MDs) are a subgroup of retinal disorders characterized by central vision loss. Knowledge is still lacking on the extent of genetic and nongenetic factors influencing inherited MD (iMD) and age‐related MD (AMD) expression.

Identification of small molecule and genetic modulators of AON-induced dystrophin exon skipping by high-throughput screening. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2009
One therapeutic approach to Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) recently entering clinical trials aims to convert DMD phenotypes to that of a milder disease variant, Becker Muscular Dystrophy (BMD), by employing antisense oligonucleotides (AONs) targeting ...

SPiP: Splicing Prediction Pipeline, a machine learning tool for massive detection of exonic and intronic variant effects on mRNA splicing

Human Mutation, Volume 43, Issue 12, Page 2308-2323, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Modeling splicing is essential for tackling the challenge of variant interpretation as each nucleotide variation can be pathogenic by affecting pre‐mRNA splicing via disruption/creation of splicing motifs such as 5′/3′ splice sites, branch sites, or splicing regulatory elements.

A multi-exon-skipping detection assay reveals surprising diversity of splice isoforms of spinal muscular atrophy genes. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Humans have two near identical copies of Survival Motor Neuron gene: SMN1 and SMN2. Loss of SMN1 coupled with the predominant skipping of SMN2 exon 7 causes spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), a neurodegenerative disease.
