  1. ...the usage of introns and 3′ splice sites. Our data highlighted a constrained window at canonical 3′ splice sites in which dynamic splice-site switches occurred in SF3B1-mutated patients. Using transcriptome-wide RNA-binding maps and molecular dynamics simulations, we showed multimodal SF3B1 binding at 3...
  2. ..., such as correcting aberrant splicing and skipping exons that contain disease-causing mutations. In addition, manipulating alternative splicing, such as the suppression of endogenous “poison exons” containing premature termination codons (PTCs) and activation of cryptic splice sites, can provide a powerful means...
  3. ...-wide association studies, respectively, and eQTL is an abbreviation of expression quantitative trait loci. Lappalainen 1428 Genome Research www..org introduces a premature stop codon, is in close proximity to an annotated splice site, or disrupts a transcription factor binding site. Analysis of allelic expression...

  4. ...candidate mutations to be pathogenic in an apparent isoform-specific context. BRF1 associates with BDP1 and TBP to form the transcription factor IIIB (TFIIIB), which recruits Pol III to target genes. We show that disease-causing mutations reduce Brf1 occupancy at tRNA target genes in Saccharomyces...
  5. .... Autozygosity mapping was performed as previously described (Borck et al. 2011). Exome sequencing Exome sequencing was performed in individual VI:3 in family 1. Briefly, genomic DNAwas enriched for exonic and adjacent splice site sequences with the SeqCap EZ human exome library v2.0 kit, and libraries were run...
  6. ...region and a panel of 94 unrelated family breast cancer risk consultands previously screened in a clinical diagnostic laboratory. All 10 common polymorphisms, 15/15 previously identified disease-causing mutations, and three previously untested single base changes were identified. Assays of LDLR exons 3...
  7. ...sites and improved shrinkage estimators for allele-specific selection coefficients.View larger version: In this window In a new window Figure 1. Overview of LASSIE. (A) For each potential protein-coding mutation, we collected 33 genomic features likely to be informative about natural selection...
  8. ...of comorbid features, including 1215 individuals with ID, 1825 with anxiety and depression, and 332 with schizophrenia features. We assessed for significant co-occurrences of two or more mutated genes with two or more of the above phenotypes (Fig. 4). Using one-tailed binomial tests to compare the observed...
  9. ...on Niemann–Pick disease type C (NPC) as an example. NPC is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a lysosomal accumulation of unesterified cholesterol and glycolipids. In 95% of cases, NPC is caused by mutations in the NPC1 gene, for which more than 200 unique disease-causing variants have been...
  10. ...incidence of variation in splice regions of intolerant and tolerant genes to characterize the deleteriousness of mutations at each individual near-splice sites (see Methods).Although different studies have focused on mutations in this region, none of them directly quantified the level of deleteriousness...
