Genomic organization of PPP2R5C. The bars represent the exons, and the lines represent introns. The pink bars are the 5' UTR, the black bars are exons that were identical in all five variants (exons 2-12), the colored bars represent specific exons in different variants, the 3' UTR in different variants is shown with green bars (variants 1, 2, 5 and 6), horizontal-dash-filled pink bars (variant 3), and horizontal-line-filled bars (pseudogene). The coding sequence between exons 2 and 12 and the shown splice junction (downward arrow) were identical across the five splice variants. The location and direction of primers used for amplification of different variants are indicated by arrows [4].
