Optimized approach for the identification of highly efficient correctors of nonsense mutations in human diseases.

Optimized approach for the identification of highly efficient correctors of nonsense mutations in human diseases.

About 10% of patients with a genetic disease carry a nonsense mutation causing their pathology. A strategy for correcting nonsense mutations is premature termination codon (PTC) readthrough, i.e. incorporation of an amino acid at the PTC position during translation. PTC-readthrough-activating molecu...
