Pseudoexons are nonfunctional intronic sequences that can be activated by deep-intronic sequence variation. Activation increases pseudoexon inclusion in mRNA and interferes with normal gene expression. The PCCA c.1285-1416A>G variation activates a pseudoexon and causes the severe metabolic disord...
