A Splice Site Mutation Associated with Congenital CD59 Deficiency [PDF]
Congenital CD59 deficiency is a recently described rare autosomal recessive disease associated with CD59 gene mutations that lead to deficient or dysfunctional CD59 protein on the cell surface.

Hypoparathyroidism, deafness and renal dysplasia syndrome caused by a GATA3 splice site mutation leading to the activation of a cryptic splice site [PDF]
The HDR syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterised by Hypoparathyroidism, Deafness, and Renal dysplasia, and is caused by inactivating heterozygous germline mutations in the GATA3 gene.

Novel compound heterozygous mutations for lipoprotein lipase deficiency: a G-to-T transversion at the first position of exon 5 causing G154V missense mutation and a 5′ splice site mutation of intron 8 [PDF]
We systematically investigated the molecular defects causing a primary LPL deficiency in a Japanese male infant (patient DI) with fasting hyperchylomicronemia (type I hyperlipoproteinemia) and in his parents.

Case Report: A Novel Splice-Site Mutation in DNAJB6 Associated With Juvenile-Onset Proximal–Distal Myopathy in a Chinese Patient [PDF]
DNAJB6 was identified as the causative gene of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 1D. In recent years, the phenotypic and molecular spectrum of DNAJB6-myopathy has been expanded, and several mutations of DNAJB6 have been identified in Europe, North ...

Identifying RNA splicing factors using IFT genes in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii [PDF]
Intraflagellar transport moves proteins in and out of flagella/cilia and it is essential for the assembly of these organelles. Using whole-genome sequencing, we identified splice site mutations in two IFT genes, IFT81 (fla9) and IFT121 (ift121-2), which ...

Cx26 keratitis ichthyosis deafness syndrome mutations trigger alternative splicing of Cx26 to prevent expression and cause toxicity in vitro [PDF]
The Cx26 mRNA has not been reported to undergo alternative splicing. In expressing a series of human keratitis ichthyosis deafness (KID) syndrome mutations of Cx26 (A88V, N14K and A40V), we found the production of a truncated mRNA product.
