Abstract excerpt
The mutational effects at the mRNA level were investigated by RT-PCR analysis of nine different nonsense mutations (Q39X, E60X, R75X, G542X, L719X, Y1092X, R1162X, S1196X, W1282X) and one frameshift mutation (1078delT) within the CFTR gene. With the exception of mutation R1162X, reduced mRNA levels ranging from 30% to less than 5% of the wild type have been observed. In case of the R75X and E60X mutations, the...
