Pre-mRNA splicing and human disease
Open accessAbstract
The precision and complexity of intron removal during pre-mRNA splicing still amazes even 26 years after the discovery that the coding information of metazoan genes is interrupted by introns (Berget et al. 1977; Chow et al. 1977). Adding to this amazement is the recent realization that most human genes express more than one mRNA by alternative splicing, a process by which functionally diverse protein isoforms can be expressed according to different regulatory programs. Given that the vast majority of human genes contain introns and that most pre-mRNAs undergo alternative splicing, it is not surprising that disruption of normal splicing patterns can cause or modify human disease. The purpose of this review is to highlight the different mechanisms by which disruption of pre-mRNA splicing play a role in human disease. Several excellent reviews provide detailed information on splicing and the regulation of splicing (Burge et al. 1999; Hastings and Krainer 2001; Black 2003). The potential role of splicing as a modifier of human disease has also recently been reviewed (NissimRafinia and Kerem 2002).

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
