The onset and progression of dominant diseases are thought to result from haploinsufficiency or dominant negative effects. Here, we propose transcriptional adaptation (TA), a newly identified response to mRNA decay, as an additional cause of some dominant diseases. TA modulates the expression of so-called adapting genes, likely via mRNA decay products, resulting in genetic compensation or a worsening of the...
