Abstract

Spliceosomopathies, which are a group of disorders caused by defects in the splicing machinery, frequently affect the craniofacial skeleton and limb, but the molecular mechanism underlying this tissue-specific sensitivity remains unclear. Splicing factors and small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs) are core components of splicing machinery, and splicing factors are further controlled by post-tra…
