Variable intronic TRs regulate mRNA splicing. (a) A variable TR in intron 2 in the pre-mRNA transcript enables proper splicing to form a fully-functioning, normal mRNA transcript; (b) Shortening of intron 2 repeat results in an alternatively spliced (non-productive) transcript missing exon 2, which does not produce any functional protein (from reference [48]).
