SnapShot: Splicing Alterations in Cancer
2020
Rahman, Mohammad Alinoor | Krainer, Adrian R. | Abdel-Wahab, Omar
RNA splicing, the spliceosome-catalyzed process by which pre-messenger RNA (pre-mRNA) is processed to mature mRNA, is altered in a number of ways in cancer. Tumor-specific splicing alterations are created by mutations that disrupt splicing-regulatory elements within genes and impair splicing recognition or by altering the RNA-binding preferences of individual splicing factors. This SnapShot summarizes our current understanding of splicing-factor alterations in cancers. To view this SnapShot, open or download the PDF.
