Functional analysis of BRCA1 and BRCA2 splicing variants using a minigene assay [PDF]

Human Genomics
Background BRCA1 and BRCA2, known as tumor suppressor genes, have been shown to increase the risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer. Intronic variants that can result in aberrant splicing events are classified as Variant uncertain significance ...

Three exonic variants in the PHEX gene cause aberrant splicing in a minigene assay [PDF]

Frontiers in Genetics
Background: X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH, OMIM 307800) is a rare phosphorus metabolism disorder caused by PHEX gene variants. Many variants simply classified as missense or nonsense variants were only analyzed at the DNA level.

Identified five variants in CFTR gene that alter RNA splicing by minigene assay [PDF]

Frontiers in Genetics
BackgroundCystic fibrosis (CF) is a common monogenic multisystem disease caused primarily by variants in the CFTR gene. Emerging evidence suggests that some variants, which are described as missense, synonymous or nonsense variants in the literature or ...

LAMB2 novel variant c.2885‐9 C>A affects RNA splicing in a minigene assay [PDF]

Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine, 2021
Background Both Pierson syndrome (PS) and isolated nephrotic syndrome can be caused by LAMB2 biallelic pathogenic variants. Only 15 causative splicing variants in the LAMB2 gene have been reported. However, the pathogenicity of most of these variants has

Pathogenic evaluation of synonymous COL4A5 variants in X‐linked Alport syndrome using a minigene assay [PDF]

Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine, 2020
Background X‐linked Alport syndrome (XLAS) is a progressive, hereditary glomerular nephritis of variable severity caused by pathogenic COL4A5 variants. Currently, genetic testing is widely used for diagnosing XLAS; however, determining the pathogenicity ...

Functional evaluation of rare variants in complement factor I using a minigene assay [PDF]

Frontiers in Immunology
The regulatory serine protease, complement factor I (FI), in conjunction with one of its cofactors (FH, C4BP, MCP, or CR1), plays an essential role in controlling complement activity through inactivation of C3b and C4b.

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

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 ...

A novel homozygous ARFGEF2 splice-site variant causing periventricular nodular heterotopia with microcephaly [PDF]

Frontiers in Pediatrics
BackgroundThe ARFGEF2 gene encodes the brefeldin A (BFA)-inhibited GEF2 protein (BIG2), which is distributed in the trans-Golgi network and plays a crucial role in neuronal proliferation and migration during cortical development through its regulation of
