Abstract excerpt
Mucopolysaccharidosis type I Hurler syndrome (MPS IH) is a severe lysosomal storage disorder caused by alpha-l-iduronidase (IDUA) deficiency. Premature truncation mutations (PTC) are the most common (50%-70%) type of IDUA mutations and correlate with MPS IH. Nonsense suppression therapy is a therapeutic approach that aims to induce stop codon readthrough. The different ability of gentamicin to bind mutant mRNA in...
