Schematic illustrating the relative positions of the 3′ splice sites in exon 6, with the amino acid sequences resulting from use of each site indicated below. Flanking areas of exons 5 and 7 are also shown. Use of either splice site internal to exon 6 (6p or 6d) results in a frame shift in the message that introduces a unique 11-amino acid sequence followed by a stop codon (denoted by an asterisk).
