Abstract excerpt
Approximately one-third of the alleles causing genetic diseases carry premature termination codons (PTCs). Therapeutic approaches for mutations generating in-frame PTCs are aimed at promoting translational readthrough of the PTC, to enable the synthesis and expression of full-length functional proteins. Interestingly, readthrough studies in tissue culture cells, mouse models, and clinical trials revealed a wide...
