Combining Translation Readthrough Inducing Drugs and Nonsense Mediated Decay Pathway Inhibition to Rescue of CFTRW1282X in Cystic Fibrosis Cell Model System
2024-06-29
Abstract excerpt
Nonsense mutations affect about 11% of patients with Cystic Fibrosis and produce a premature termination codon in Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) mRNA causing early termination of the polypeptide translation. A potential therapy for nonsense mutations allows small molecules to overcome the premature termination codon (PTC) by a readthrough mechanism leading to the synthesis of a complete...
