| T1 |
0-77 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Alternative splicing at a NAGNAG acceptor site as a novel phenotype modifier. |
| T2 |
78-231 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Approximately 30% of alleles causing genetic disorders generate premature termination codons (PTCs), which are usually associated with severe phenotypes. |
| T3 |
232-313 |
Sentence |
denotes |
However, bypassing the deleterious stop codon can lead to a mild disease outcome. |
| T4 |
314-435 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Splicing at NAGNAG tandem splice sites has been reported to result in insertion or deletion (indel) of three nucleotides. |
| T5 |
436-617 |
Sentence |
denotes |
We identified such a mechanism as the origin of the mild to asymptomatic phenotype observed in cystic fibrosis patients homozygous for the E831X mutation (2623G>T) in the CFTR gene. |
| T6 |
618-790 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Analyses performed on nasal epithelial cell mRNA detected three distinct isoforms, a considerably more complex situation than expected for a single nucleotide substitution. |
| T7 |
791-960 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Structure-function studies and in silico analyses provided the first experimental evidence of an indel of a stop codon by alternative splicing at a NAGNAG acceptor site. |
| T8 |
961-1107 |
Sentence |
denotes |
In addition to contributing to proteome plasticity, alternative splicing at a NAGNAG tandem site can thus remove a disease-causing UAG stop codon. |
| T9 |
1108-1252 |
Sentence |
denotes |
This molecular study reveals a naturally occurring mechanism where the effect of either modifier genes or epigenetic factors could be suspected. |
| T10 |
1253-1365 |
Sentence |
denotes |
This finding is of importance for genetic counseling as well as for deciding appropriate therapeutic strategies. |
