The Experimentally Obtained Functional Impact Assessments of 5' Splice Site GT>GC Variants Differ Markedly from Those Predicted

5' splice site GT>GC or +2T>C variants have been frequently reported to cause human genetic disease and are routinely scored as pathogenic splicing mutations. However, we have recently demonstrated that such variants in human disease genes may not invariably be pathogenic. Moreover, we found that no splicing prediction tools appear to be capable of reliably distinguishing those +2T>C variants that generate wild-type transcripts from those that...
