[Allele-specific therapy: suppression of nonsense mutations by readthrough inducers].

Abstract excerpt

Ten percent of human hereditary diseases are linked to nonsense mutations (premature termination codon). These mutations lead to premature translation termination, trigger the synthesis of a truncated protein and possibly lead to mRNA degradation by the NMD pathway (nonsense mediated mRNA decay). For the past ten years, therapeutic strategies have emerged which attempt to use molecules that facilitate tRNA...
