Abstract excerpt
The present study aimed to characterize mutant alleles in Mucopolysaccharidosis II and evaluate possible reduction of mRNA amount consequent to nonsense-mediated or nonstop mRNA decay pathways. A combination of different approaches, including real-time RT-PCR, were used to molecularly characterize seventeen patients. Fifteen alleles were identified and nine of them were new. The novel alleles consisted of three...
