Figure

  • Fig. 1 Schematic representation of the predicted consequences of the donor splice-site mutation c.2701+ 1G>A in LAMB3 gene. (A) Schematic representation of LAMB3 gene. Exons are shown as numbered black rectangles. (B) A focus on exon 18 donor site wild type and mutated sequences. (C) Predicted mRNA and consequences on the predicted protein of LAMB3 gene. (D) Nucleotide sequence with the translated predicted β3 chain of laminin 332. WT: wild type, mRNA: messenger RNA, aa: amino acid, bp: base pair.
