Minigenes for heterologous expression of human and mouse cationic trypsinogen. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
Inborn mutations in the PRSS1 gene encoding human cationic trypsinogen cause hereditary pancreatitis. In mouse models, PRSS1 mutations are often studied in the context of the Prss3b gene that codes for mouse cationic trypsinogen.

Pedigree and Functional Analysis of Two Cryptic OTC Variants Causing Ornithine Transcarbamylase Deficiency in Two Unrelated Chinese Male Patients [PDF]

Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine
Background Ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency (OTCD, MIM#311250) is a rare X‐linked urea cycle disorder causing hyperammonemia. While around 600 pathogenic OTC variants have been reported, cryptic changes like synonymous or in‐frame variants remain ...

Case report: Successful PGT-M based on the identification of a spliceogenic variant in the RPGRIP1L gene through Minigene assay

Frontiers in Genetics
With the development of high-throughput sequencing, the genetic etiology of many diseases has been revealed. However, this has also led to the categorization of many variants as variants of uncertain significance (VUSs), presenting a major challenge in ...

Case Report: Minigene assays reveal a novel DNAAF6 intronic variant as the key etiology for primary ciliary dyskinesia [PDF]

Frontiers in Genetics
BackgroundPrimary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), a rare hereditary disorder characterized by impaired ciliary motility, is frequently linked to infertility. Elucidating PCD’s genetic basis is critical for accurate diagnosis and clinical management.

Splicing Outcomes of 5′ Splice Site GT>GC Variants That Generate Wild-Type Transcripts Differ Significantly Between Full-Length and Minigene Splicing Assays

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021
Combining data derived from a meta-analysis of human disease-associated 5′ splice site GT>GC (i.e., +2T>C) variants and a cell culture-based full-length gene splicing assay (FLGSA) of forward engineered +2T>C substitutions, we recently estimated
