Normally, disease-causing 5′ splice-site (5′ss) mutations disrupt Watson-Crick/wobble base pair(s) with U1 small nuclear RNA (snRNA) but some mutations do not. In this thesis, we investigated a T→C mutation in hemochromatosis (HFE) intron 2 which might break a possible non-canonical Ψ-U base pair in...
