The NYT reports that the "spirited contests" between candidates isn't enough to spark much enthusiasm for the old-fashioned exercise in democracy: though presidential hopefuls have stumped tirelessly throughout the state (save John McCain, who is skipping Iowa to concentrate on next week's primary in New Hampshire), only one-ninth of registered voters are expected to turn out Monday night to stand up and nominate their candidates.
For example, exon-skipping mutations in the central region of the gene, exons 24-32, cause severe phenotypes or neonatal presentations [ 8 ] . But there are exceptions, only four of the many other mutations in this region cause severe phenotypes, while one mutation predicted to lead to skipping of exon 24 was found in a patient with classic MFS [ 5 ] . In contrast, most cysteine substitutions cause classic MFS with a high frequency of lens dislocation, although some patients in our study did not meet the Ghent criteria for diagnosis of MFS [ 9 ] . Amino-acid substitutions not disrupting disulfide bonds may be associated with fibrillinopathies other than MFS, although mutations in the calcium-binding consensus sequence have been reported in individuals with classic MFS [ 5 10 11 12 ] . It is clear from the studies reported so far, that genotype-phenotype correlations are not straight-forward for FBN1 mutations.
We further elaborated this hypothesis by comparing the lowest free energy structures of the donor- and acceptor sites of all exons that were prone to skipping (bold in Table 1) to their first higher free-energy structures using the mfold program [ 26 27 ] . Some structures showed remarkable alterations between both energy states, but many others did not at all.
Some of these resulted from cryptic splice site usage, others were found to have deletions precisely at the exon boundaries ('exon skipping'), very few resulted from intron retention.
McCain doesn't need to persuade the media that his reasons for skipping Ames were morally sound.
