OBSCN undergoes extensive alternative splicing during human cardiac and skeletal muscle development
We conclude that the splicing of OBSCN is extensively regulated during the human skeletal/cardiac muscle development. We developed an interactive visualization tool that can be used by clinicians and researchers to study the inclusion of specific OBSCN exons in pre- and postnatal cardiac and skeletal muscles and access the statistics for the differential inclusion of the exons across the studied sample groups. The OBSCN exon inclusion map related to the human cardiac and skeletal muscle development is available at http://psivis.it.helsinki.fi:3838/OBSCN_PSIVIS/ . These findings are essential for an accurate pre- and postnatal clinical interpretation of the OBSCN exonic variants.
