Genetic variants can cause protein-coding mutations that result in disease. What about in alternative isoforms? Excited to share my first first-author pre-print! Here we show many variants reside in tissue-specific isoforms, causing coding mutations. 1/

Disease-associated genetic variants can cause mutations in tissue-specific protein isoforms
Genetic variants can cause protein-coding mutations that result in disease. Variants are typically interpreted using the reference transcript for a gene. However, most human multi-exon genes encode al...

GWAS to mechanism: when non-coding is coding. Beautiful insightful science from @gweykopf.bsky.social @simonbiddie.bsky.social Joe Marsh and many colleagues. @uoe-igc.bsky.social @cmvm-edinburghuni.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
