IthaID: 107

Context nucleotide sequence:
TGGTGGTGAGGCCCTGGGCAGGTTG [G/C] TATCAAGGTTACAAGACAGGTTTAA (Strand: -)

Also known as:

Comments: The G>C substitution at the 5th base of IVS 1 disrupts normal splicing. The variant activates three cryptic donor sites that lead to the production of three different abnormally spliced RNAs. The normally spliced RNA is also produced (in vitro experiments).

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
