This creates extended SMN proteins that, even though they still lack the seventh exon, may have some functionality or may help stabilize the small amounts of full - length protein.

The theory and approaches of aggregation testing are too broad a topic to cover here, but the general concept is this: by grouping individual rare variants into a biological unit — most often, a gene or exon — it's possible to test the super-genotype (i.e. «has a rare variant in gene A») for association.

The site of exon / intron junction is marked by the arrows and is also conserved among Boule homologs.
