The roles of RNA processing in translating genotype to phenotype.
Nature Reviews. Molecular Cell Biology 2017 Februrary
A goal of human genetics studies is to determine the mechanisms by which genetic variation produces phenotypic differences that affect human health. Efforts in this respect have previously focused on genetic variants that affect mRNA levels by altering epigenetic and transcriptional regulation. Recent studies show that genetic variants that affect RNA processing are at least equally as common as, and are largely independent from, those variants that affect transcription. We highlight the impact of genetic variation on pre-mRNA splicing and polyadenylation, and on the stability, translation and structure of mRNAs as mechanisms that produce phenotypic traits. These results emphasize the importance of including RNA processing signals in analyses to identify functional variants.
