Using deep RNA-sequencing data from 298 CLL tumor samples and isogenic SF3B1 WT and K700E-mutated CLL cell lines, we characterize targets and pre-mRNA sequence features associated with the selection of cryptic 3′ splice sites upon SF3B1 mutation, including an event in the MAP3K7 gene relevant for activation of NF-κB signaling. This evidence concerns the gene SF3B1 and neoplasm.
