Abstract excerpt
Nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) is a mechanism of the recognition and degradation of messenger RNA containing a premature stop codon. Nonsense mutations are the main mutations that lead to Mucopolysaccharidosis type I. To determine the effect of NMD on correct genotyping based on cDNA sequencing, we standardized the sequencing from alpha-L-iduronidase gene cDNA molecules and validated this process for a group of...
