Abstract:
As novel somatic mutations, spliceosome mutations have been identified in recent years with the advent of whole exone/genome sequencing technology in hematopoietic malignancy. These new findings provide another view to understand these diseases other than DNA methylation, chromatin modification, transcription regulation, DNA repair and signal transduction. In this review, the structure as well as function of spliceosome are introduced and the common mutations such as SF3B1, U2AF35, SRSF2 and ZRSR2 as well as their frequency, mutation versions, clinical phenotypies and effects on prognosis are discussed.
