Novel de novo BRCA2 mutation in a patient with a family history of breast cancer

BMC Medical Genetics, 2008
Background BRCA2 germ-line mutations predispose to breast and ovarian cancer. Mutations are widespread and unclassified splice variants are frequently encountered.

Novel compound heterozygous mutations in the CYP4F22 gene in a patient with autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis

Clinical Case Reports, 2021
Autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis (ARCI) is a rare form of keratinization disorder of the skin, which can be caused by mutations in 14 ARCI genes.

Molecular diagnosis of hereditary inclusion body myopathy by linkage analysis and identification of a novel splice site mutation in GNE

BMC Medical Genetics, 2011
Background Many myopathies share clinical features in common, and diagnosis often requires genetic testing. We ascertained a family in which five siblings presented with distal muscle weakness of unknown etiology.

A novel GTPBP2 splicing mutation in two siblings affected with microcephaly, generalized muscular atrophy, and hypotrichosis

Clinical Case Reports, 2021
A novel splice site mutation in the GTPBP2 gene was identified by whole‐exome sequencing in two siblings with microcephaly and progressive generalized muscular atrophy associated with hypotrichosis.

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.

New splice site acceptor mutation in AIRE gene in autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type 1 (APS-1, OMIM 240300) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder, characterized by the presence of at least two of three major diseases: hypoparathyroidism, Addison's disease, and chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis.

A Case of Renal Coloboma Syndrome Caused by Spontaneous Mutation of PAX2

罕见病研究, 2022
This article reports a case of a child with full-length (paired box family, PAX) PAX2 mutation leading to renal coloboma syndrome. The patient is an 11-year-old boy presented with persistent foamy urine and unexplained renal failure.

U2AF1 mutations alter splice site recognition in hematological malignancies [PDF]

Genome Research, 2013
Whole-exome sequencing studies have identified common mutations affecting genes encoding components of the RNA splicing machinery in hematological malignancies. Here, we sought to determine how mutations affecting the 3′ splice site recognition factor U2AF1 alter its normal role in RNA splicing.

A Novel Splice-Site Variation in COL5A1 Causes Keratoconus in an Indian Family

Journal of Ophthalmology, 2019
Objective. This study aims to clarify the association between keratoconus (KC) and potential pathogenic genetic variants in a three-generation South Indian family. Methods.

N-Ethyl-N-Nitrosourea (ENU) Mutagenesis Reveals an Intronic Residue Critical for Caenorhabditis elegans 3′ Splice Site Function in Vivo

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2016
Metazoan introns contain a polypyrimidine tract immediately upstream of the AG dinucleotide that defines the 3′ splice site. In the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, 3′ splice sites are characterized by a highly conserved UUUUCAG/R octamer motif.
