Analysis of Premature Termination Codons Predicted to Escape Nonsense Mediated Decay Identifies Novel Genes, Pathways, and Networks Contributing to an Oligogenic Etiology of Congenital Heart Disease
2025-08-07
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> A large fraction of clinically relevant pathogenic genomic variation consists of premature termination codons ( PTC). While PTCs can trigger nonsense mediated mRNA decay ( NMDtrig ) causing loss of function ( LOF ), those near the end of transcripts can escape NMD ( NMDesc ), allowing expression of truncated proteins. As NMDesc PTCs are not well studied, and can lead to possible gain of functi...
