Abstract excerpt
Pathogenic variants creating upstream open reading frames (uORFs) in the 5' untranslated region (5'UTR) of the ENG gene can disrupt translation from the main ORF and contribute to hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT). This is the case of the ENG c.-79C>T that introduces a uAUG shown to decrease endoglin expression and associates with HHT. Here, we investigated whether 2'-O-methyl (2'OMe) antisense...
