A Splice Site Mutation Associated with Congenital CD59 Deficiency

Hematology Reports, 2022
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

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2023
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

Journal of Lipid Research, 2001
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.

Autosomal dominant optic atrophy: A novel treatment for OPA1 splice defects using U1 snRNA adaption

Molecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids, 2021
Autosomal dominant optic atrophy (ADOA) is frequently caused by mutations in the optic atrophy 1 (OPA1) gene, with haploinsufficiency being the major genetic pathomechanism. Almost 30% of the OPA1-associated cases suffer from splice defects.

Identifying RNA splicing factors using IFT genes in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii [PDF]

Open Biology, 2018
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]

Royal Society Open Science, 2019
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.

Modifying splice site usage with ModCon: Maintaining the genetic code while changing the underlying mRNP code

Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2021
Codon degeneracy of amino acid sequences permits an additional “mRNP code” layer underlying the genetic code that is related to RNA processing. In pre-mRNA splicing, splice site usage is determined by both intrinsic strength and sequence context ...

Novel splice site IDUA gene mutation in Tunisian pedigrees with hurler syndrome

Diagnostic Pathology, 2018
Background The mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS I) is a lysosomal storage disease resulting from the defective activity of the enzyme α-L-iduronidase (IDUA).

Activation of cryptic splice sites in three patients with chronic granulomatous disease

Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine, 2019
Background Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a primary immune deficiency caused by mutations in the genes encoding the structural components of the phagocyte NADPH oxidase.
