Recoding of Nonsense Mutation as a Pharmacological Strategy. [PDF]
Approximately 11% of genetic human diseases are caused by nonsense mutations that introduce a premature termination codon (PTC) into the coding sequence. The PTC results in the production of a potentially harmful shortened polypeptide and activation of a nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) pathway.

Cohen syndrome due to a novel VPS13B mutation in a Chinese family
We present the case of a novel homozygous nonsense (c.4846C > T [p.R1616X]) mutation in the VPS13B in a Chinese boy with the primary symptoms of Cohen syndrome.

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

Identifying Potent Nonsense-Mediated mRNA Decay Inhibitors with a Novel Screening System
Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) is a quality control mechanism that degrades mRNAs carrying a premature termination codon. Its inhibition, alone or in combination with other approaches, could be exploited to develop therapies for genetic diseases ...

dnaB125, a dnaB nonsense mutation [PDF]
A temperature-sensitive dnaB mutation, dnaB125, was shown to be a suppressed amber mutation. The effects of inserting different amino acids at the mutated site via amber suppressors were examined for both Escherichia coli and bacteriophage gamma growth.

Procedure for Identifying Nonsense Mutations [PDF]
A method has been devised for the rapid identification of nonsense mutations (UAG, UAA, UGA codons) in Salmonella . The mutations to be tested are reverted, and the revertants are replica-printed onto lactose plates spread with lawns of tester strains.

(1) Background: PTC124 (Ataluren) is an investigational drug for the treatment of nonsense mutation-mediated genetic diseases. With the exception of the TP53 tumor suppressor gene, there has been little research on cancers with nonsense mutation.
