Pseudoexon activation in disease by non-splice site deep intronic sequence variation - wild type pseudoexons constitute high-risk sites in the human genome

Ulrika S. S. Petersen et al.

Summary: Accurate pre-mRNA splicing is crucial for normal gene expression. Activation of pseudoexons, nonfunctional intronic sequences, poses a risk of disease, but is challenging to predict and often goes undetected. Pseudoexon activation is mainly based on deep intronic sequence variants and is commonly missed by conventional diagnostic procedures, making it an underreported disease mechanism.

Vulnerable exons, like ACADM exon 5, are highly dependent on maintaining a correct balance between splicing enhancers and silencers

Lise L. Holm et al.

Summary: Study shows that different exons have varying dependencies on splicing regulatory elements and susceptibility to splicing mutations. Factors like balance between enhancers and silencers, intron length, and splice site strength influence exon definition and splicing efficiency. Inherent vulnerabilities of exons should be considered for predicting pathogenic effects of exonic mutations.

In silico identification of pseudo-exon activation events in personal genome and transcriptome data

Narumi Sakaguchi et al.

Summary: Causative mutations for genetic disorders have been mainly identified in exonic regions, but recent research shows mutations in deep intronic regions can also cause disorders through pseudo-exon activation. In normal individuals, an average of 2.6 pseudo-exon activation events were found, more at the 5' donor splice sites. This suggests that pseudo-exon activation events can be observed in normal individuals at a certain frequency.

Rebecca Truty et al.

Summary: The study found that splicing variants accounted for a significant portion of variants in the clinical cohort, with most being classified as VUSs. Additionally, RNA analysis could provide supporting evidence for reclassifying splicing VUSs, but the majority of variants were likely to be classified as likely benign.
