Ataluren improves myelopoiesis and neutrophil chemotaxis by restoring ribosome biogenesis and reducing p53 levels in Shwachman–Diamond syndrome cells

Abstract excerpt

Shwachman-Diamond syndrome (SDS) is characterized by neutropenia, exocrine pancreatic insufficiency and skeletal abnormalities. SDS bone marrow haematopoietic progenitors show increased apoptosis and impairment in granulocytic differentiation. Loss of Shwachman-Bodian-Diamond syndrome (SBDS) expression results in reduced eukaryotic 80S ribosome maturation. Biallelic mutations in the SBDS gene are found in ~90% of...
