Characterization of the mIF4G Domains in the RNA Surveillance Protein Upf2p
Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2023 Thirty percent of all mutations causing human disease generate mRNAs with premature termination codons (PTCs). Recognition and degradation of these PTC-containing mRNAs is carried out by the mechanism known as nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD).

A Unified Model of Codon Reassignment in Alternative Genetic Codes [PDF]
, 2005 Many modified genetic codes are found in specific genomes in which one or more codons have been reassigned to a different amino acid from that in the canonical code.

Mutations of the ret protooncogene in German multiple endocrine neoplasia families: Relation between genotype and phenotype. [PDF]
, 1996 It has been suggested that not only the position but also the nature of the mutations of the ret protooncogene strongly correlate with the clinical manifestation of the multiple endocrine neoplasm type 2 (MEN 2) syndrome.

A Novel Mutation of PARK-2 Gene in a Patient with Early-onset Parkinson’s Disease
Oman Medical Journal, 2020 Between 3–5% of all patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) have onset before the age of 40 years, which is likely related to genetic causes. Parkin gene mutations are the most common mutations, which are associated with autosomal recessive early-onset PD.
