Molecular Genetics

Drögemüller et al. (2011) identified a likely causal variant in Tyrolean Grey cattle as the synonymous c.2229C>T SNP, which "is located within a putative exonic splice enhancer (ESE) and the variant allele leads to partial retention of the entire intron 19 and a premature stop codon in the aberrant MFN2 transcript. Thus we have identified a highly unusual splicing defect, where an exonic single base exchange leads to the retention of the preceding intron."
