Unexpected inactivation of acceptor consensus splice sequence by a -3 C to T transition in intron 2 of the CFTR gene

Abstract

Cystic fibrosis is caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator gene (CFTR). Analysis of DNA from a pancreatic sufficient patient by means of denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and subsequent DNA sequencing led to the identification of a novel potential splice mutation and a novel missense mutation in the CFTR gene. One C to T substitution (297-3C-->T) was found at the splice acceptor site of intron 2 and a T to C substitution at 1213 was found in exon 7. To determine the effect of the potential splicing mutation on the patient's CFTR transcripts and by taking advantage of the "illegitimate" transcription phenomenon, RNA from EBV-lymphoblastoid cells was reverse transcribed and amplified by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Direct sequencing of the PCR product revealed that the transcript from the chromosome with the 297-3C-->T mutation exhibited the skipping of exon 3.

Alternative splicing

Alternative splicing a regulated gene expression process that allows a single genetic sequence to code for multiple proteins. Here is that latest research.
