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

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

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

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

Functional Characterization of <i>HGD</i> Gene Variants by Minigene Splicing Assay. [PDF]
The HGD gene encodes homogentisate 1,2-dioxygenase. A deficiency of this enzyme causes alkaptonuria (AKU; OMIM 203500), a monogenic autosomal recessive metabolic disorder.
