Restoration of W1282X CFTR Activity by Enhanced Expression
31 May 2007
Abstract excerpt
Cystic fibrosis results from mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. Premature termination codons represent a common minority of CFTR mutations, and are caused by base pair substitutions that produce abnormal stop codons in the coding sequence. Select aminoglycosides induce "translational readthrough" of premature stop codons and have been shown to restore full-length...
