RNA‐Guided Engineering of the Chloroplast Genome Enabled by Plastid‐Expressed Guide RNAs

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Our goal is to develop RNA‐guided engineering of the chloroplast genome using the CRISPR/Cas9 system. We designed chloroplast minigenes to obtain properly sized single guide RNAs (sgRNAs) in tobacco chloroplasts. The sgRNA 5′ end is defined by transcription from an rRNA operon promoter, and its 3′ end by processing a downstream tRNA (trnG) or ...

Investigating the molecular basis of the serological Rh D‐negative phenotype in Indonesia: nature, frequency, and impact for diagnostics

open access: yesTransfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Although widely studied and reported for more than 30 years, the molecular basis of Rh D‐negativity has remained unexplored in several regions of the world, including in Indonesia, Southeast Asia. Study Design and Methods A subset of 436 Indonesian blood donors originally typed D‐negative (D–) by routine serological testing was ...

CHARGE syndrome: a recurrent hotspot of mutations in CHD7 IVS25 analyzed by bioinformatic tools and minigene assays [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Human Genetics, 2017
CHARGE syndrome is a rare genetic disorder mainly due to de novo and private truncating mutations of CHD7 gene. Here we report an intriguing hot spot of intronic mutations (c.5405-7G > A, c.5405-13G > A, c.5405-17G > A and c.5405-18C > A) located in CHD7 IVS25.

Clinical report and genetic analysis of a Chinese neonate with craniofacial microsomia caused by a splicing variant of the splicing factor 3b subunit 2 gene

open access: yesMolecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine, 2023
Background Craniofacial microsomia (CFM) is a common congenital malformation with unknown pathogenesis. Although few cases have been reported, it is suggested that variants of the SF3B2 gene may lead to CFM.

Disruption of the SNRPF–DDX24–E2F4 Feedback Loop Uncouples Splicing and Transcriptional Regulation to Suppress Ovarian Cancer Progression

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 44, 7 August 2026.
This study identifies SNRPF as a critical oncogenic driver in ovarian cancer. By regulating a self‐sustaining SNRPF–DDX24–E2F4 feedback loop through intron retention and nonsense‐mediated decay, SNRPF couples RNA splicing with transcriptional regulation to promote tumor progression.

Rare Biallelic CTU2 Variants in an Individual With CAKUT: Clinical Characterization and Minigene Splicing Analysis

open access: yesMolecular Genetics &Genomic Medicine, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Exome sequencing in 200 CAKUT patients identified compound heterozygous rare CTU2 variants in one renal‐predominant case. Minigene splicing assays showed c.913C>T partially increased exon 9 skipping, supporting further case collection and kidney‐relevant studies to clarify the role of CTU2 in renal developmental phenotypes.

Identification and functional validation of a novel disease‐causing variant in the noncoding region of NYX

open access: yesActa Ophthalmologica, Volume 104, Issue 5, Page e555-e564, August 2026.
Abstract Purpose Inherited retinal diseases (IRDs) are a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of disorders, with ~30% of cases remaining genetically unsolved. Complete congenital stationary night blindness (cCSNB) is a subtype of IRD, usually associated with reduced visual acuity, nystagmus and high myopia.

Minigene Splicing Assays Identify 20 Spliceogenic Variants of the Breast/Ovarian Cancer Susceptibility Gene RAD51C

open access: yesCancers, 2022
RAD51C loss-of-function variants are associated with an increased risk of breast and ovarian cancers. Likewise, splicing disruptions are a frequent mechanism of gene inactivation. Taking advantage of a previous splicing-reporter minigene with exons 2-8 (mgR51C_ex2-8), we proceeded to check its impact on the splicing of candidate ClinVar variants.
