Open reading frame correction using antisense oligonucleotides for the treatment of cystic fibrosis caused by CFTR-W1282X

2021-08-11

Abstract excerpt

CFTR gene mutations that result in the introduction of premature termination codons (PTCs) are common in cystic fibrosis (CF). This mutation type causes a severe form of the disease, likely because of low CFTR mRNA expression as a result of nonsense mediated mRNA decay (NMD), as well as production of a non-functional, truncated CFTR protein. Current therapeutics for CF, which target residual protein function, are...
