Dwarfism with joint laxity in Friesian horses is associated with a splice site mutation in B4GALT7 [PDF]
Background: Inbreeding and population bottlenecks in the ancestry of Friesian horses has led to health issues such as dwarfism. The limbs of dwarfs are short and the ribs are protruding inwards at the costochondral junction, while the head and back ...

A mutation hotspot at the p14ARF splice site [PDF]
Germline mutations of CDKN2A that affect the p16INK4a transcript have been identified in numerous melanoma pedigrees worldwide. In the UK, over 50% of pedigrees with three or more cases of melanoma have been found to carry mutations of CDKN2A. Mutations that affect p14ARF exon 1beta exclusively are very rare.

A 5' splice site mutation in fucosidosis. [PDF]
Fucosidosis is a rare, autosomal recessive, lysosomal storage disease, resulting from a deficiency of the enzyme alpha-fucosidase (EC 3.2.1.51). It is characterised clinically by progressive mental and motor deterioration, growth retardation, coarse facies, and often recurrent infections, but the course of the disease is variable.

Effect of 5′ Splice Site Mutations on Splicing of the Preceding Intron [PDF]
Three exon constructs containing identical intron and exon sequences were mutated at the 5' splice site beginning intron 2 and assayed for the effect of the mutation on splicing of the upstream intron in vitro. Alteration of two or six bases within the 5' splice site reduced removal of intron 1 at least 20-fold, as determined by quantitation of either ...

Actions of Agonists, Fipronil and Ivermectin on the Predominant In Vivo Splice and Edit Variant (RDLbd, I/V) of the Drosophila GABA Receptor Expressed in Xenopus laevis Oocytes [PDF]
Ionotropic GABA receptors are the targets for several classes of insecticides. One of the most widely-studied insect GABA receptors is RDL (resistance to dieldrin), originally isolated from Drosophila melanogaster.

The metabolic syndrome- associated small G protein ARL15 plays a role in adipocyte differentiation and adiponectin secretion. [PDF]
Common genetic variants at the ARL15 locus are associated with plasma adiponectin, insulin and HDL cholesterol concentrations, obesity, and coronary atherosclerosis.

Identification of a novel splicing‐altering LAMP2 variant in a Chinese family with Danon disease
Aims This study aimed to identify a novel splicing‐altering LAMP2 variant associated with Danon disease. Methods and results To identify the potential genetic mutation in a Chinese pedigree, whole‐exome sequencing was conducted in the proband, and Sanger
