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

Validating the splicing effect of rare variants in the SLC26A4 gene using minigene assay [PDF]
Background The SLC26A4 gene is the second most common cause of hereditary hearing loss in human. The aim of this study was to utilize the minigene assay in order to identify pathogenic variants of SLC26A4 associated with enlarged vestibular aqueduct (EVA)

Hybrid Minigene Assay: An Efficient Tool to Characterize mRNA Splicing Profiles of NF1 Variants. [PDF]
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is caused by heterozygous loss of function mutations in the NF1 gene. Although patients are diagnosed according to clinical criteria and few genotype-phenotype correlations are known, molecular analysis remains important ...

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

Functional evidence for SCN8A splice-donor variant c.4419+1 A > G causing loss of function [PDF]
We report a child with severe developmental and epileptic encephalopathy carrying a rare SCN8A splice‑site variant. Although its pathogenicity was initially unclear, a minigene assay demonstrated aberrant splicing, indicating a loss‑of‑function mechanism.

Identified eleven exon variants in PKD1 and PKD2 genes that altered RNA splicing by minigene assay. [PDF]
Background Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a common monogenic multisystem disease caused primarily by mutations in the PKD1 gene or PKD2 gene.

Molecular analysis of eight splicing variants in the hydroxymethylbilane synthase gene
Background: Molecular genetic testing is the most sensitive and specific method to confirm acute intermittent porphyria (AIP), a rare autosomal dominant disease, caused by Hydroxymethylbilane synthase (HMBS) gene mutation.

A novel hypomorphic splice variant in EIF2B5 gene is associated with mild ovarioleukodystrophy
Objective To identify the genetic cause in an adult ovarioleukodystrophy patient resistant to diagnosis. Methods We applied whole‐exome sequencing (WES) to a vanishing white matter disease patient associated with premature ovarian failure at 26 years of ...
