Abstract excerpt
Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) is a mechanism, which selectively degrades transcripts carrying premature termination codons (PTCs) and a variety of physiologic transcripts containing NMD-inducing features. In a recent study, we have found variable NMD efficiency among nasal epithelial cells obtained from cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. This variability was found for CF transmembrane conductance regulator...
