A systematic analysis of splicing variants identifies new diagnoses in the 100,000 Genomes Project

Abstract Background Genomic variants which disrupt splicing are a major cause of rare genetic diseases. However, variants which lie outside of the canonical splice sites are difficult to interpret clinically. Improving the clinical interpretation of non-canonical splicing variants offers a major opp...
