Infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy (INAD) is a rare hereditary neurological disorder caused by mutations in PLA2G6. The disease commonly affects children below 3 years of age and presents with delay in motor skills, optic atrophy and progressive spastic tetraparesis. Studies of INAD in Africa are extremely rare, and genetic studies from Sub Saharan Africa are almost non-existent.

Human Splicing Finder (tool)

RRID:SCR_005181

Software tool to help study pre-mRNA splicing and to better understand intronic and exonic mutations leading to splicing defects. To calculate the consensus values of potential splice sites and search for branch points, new algorithms were developed. Furthermore, they have integrated all available matrices to identify exonic and intronic motifs, as well as new matrices to identify hnRNP A1, Tra2-? and 9G8.
