A 6-bp deletion at the splice donor site of the first intron resulted in aberrant splicing using a cryptic splice site within exon 1 in a patient with succinyl-CoA: 3-Ketoacid CoA transferase (SCOT) deficiency
2006
Succinyl-CoA: 3-ketoacid-CoA transferase (SCOT; locus symbol OXCT, EC 2.8.3.5) deficiency is a rare genetic disorder affecting ketone body utilization in extra-hepatic tissues. A 6-bp deletion at the splice donor site of intron 1 resulted in the absence of a full-length mature SCOT mRNA with faint amounts of aberrantly spliced transcripts using a cryptic splice donor site within exon 1, which was located just 7 bases upstream from the authentic site in a SCOT deficient patient.
