Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the 5' UTR which cause increment/decrement of translation efficiency have been recently described as a novel molecular mechanism of disease. Alterations in the consensus sequence for the translation initiation may promote context-dependent leaky scanning of ribosomes and/or initiation from a downstream AUG codon. Initiation of translation from a downstream in-frame AUG codon in BRCA1 gene was...
