Background: It is often difficult to define the clinical relevance of a novel gene variant. In silico analyses of variants located close to exon–intron-junctions are utilised to predict the result of these basepair changes. We have previously identified two splice-site variants in AIP and confirmed the predicted changes for c.249G>T, p.G83AfsX15 and c.807C>T. We identified the c.469-2A>G heterozygous variant located at the end of intron-3 in a childhood...
