Department of Pathology and Medical Genetics, St Olavs University Hospital, Erling Skjalgssons gt 1, 7006 Trondheim, Norway
Fam Cancer 8:179-86. 2009..cDNA analysis showed that the homozygous mutation led to two abnormal transcripts, of which one is perhaps less detrimental. Thus cDNA analysis is of prime importance for the full evaluation of the effect of putative splicing mutations...
