Yоu аre studying а fаmily that has a heterоzygоus sequence variant in the intron of an essential gene which leads to a defect in development. This variant changes the sequence of the branchpoint site in the intron from an optimal UACUAAC to GCACAGU which results in the intron not being recognized and spliced. This of course leads to the inability to express this gene from that locus. (1) Explain why this specific variation leads to a pre-mRNA splicing defect. Be detailed in your answer in explaining the molecular reasons that the variant leads to the defect. (5 points) (2) You are able to grow cells from these patients in the laboratory, manipulate and add one or more genes on a plasmid to study the gene expression in those cells. Design an experiment that would restore splicing from this variant locus without changing the sequence of the defective gene (either on the chromosome or a plasmid) and does not invoke the use of splicing regulatory proteins.
