Abstract excerpt
Hemophilia could be caused by a nonsense mutation of the Factor IX gene, leading to a deficiency of Factor IX (F9). The nonsense mutation frequency of F9 is more than 10% according to the database. Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) is a defined cellular response that can potentially prevent the production of such deleterious C-terminal truncated proteins from aberrant mRNA. Here, we constructed a mini-gene of...
