Variable readthrough responsiveness of nonsense mutations in hemophilia A
Readthrough therapy relies on the use of small molecules that enable premature termination codons in mRNA open reading frames to be misinterpreted by the translation machinery, thus allowing the generation of full-length, potentially functional proteins from mRNA carrying nonsense mutations. In patients with hemophilia A, nonsense mutations potentially

A new targeted CFTR mutation panel based on next-generation sequencing technology [PDF]
Searching for mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator gene (CFTR) is a key step in the diagnosis of and neonatal and carrier screening for cystic fibrosis (CF), and it has implications for prognosis and personalized therapy ...

Identifying RNA splicing factors using IFT genes in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii [PDF]
Intraflagellar transport moves proteins in and out of flagella/cilia and it is essential for the assembly of these organelles. Using whole-genome sequencing, we identified splice site mutations in two IFT genes,

Background Gastric cancers frequently show chromosomal alterations which can cause activation of oncogenes, and/or inactivation of tumour suppressor genes. In gastric cancer several chromosomal regions are described to be frequently lost, but for most of

Allelic heterogeneity at the equine KIT locus in dominant white (W) horses. [PDF]
White coat color has been a highly valued trait in horses for at least 2,000 years. Dominant white (W) is one of several known depigmentation phenotypes in horses.

A novel LAMB2 gene mutation associated with a severe phenotype in a neonate with Pierson syndrome. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Pierson syndrome (PS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder, caused by mutations in the laminin β2 (LAMB2) gene. It is characterized by congenital nephrotic syndrome, microcoria, and neurodevelopmental deficits.

Positions of early nonsense and deletion mutations in lacZ [PDF]
The positions of three Escherichia coli lacZ operator-proximal nonsense mutations and one deletion mutation have been determined. The nonsense mutations were suppressed with supF, resulting in the production of active beta-galactosidase by each strain. Amino acid sequencing identified the positions of the tyrosine residues inserted by supF, and thereby
