An Engineered Nonsense \u3cem\u3eURA3\u3c/em\u3e Allele Provides a Versatile System to Detect the Presence, Absence and Appearance of the [em\u3ePSI\u3c/em\u3e\u3csup\u3e+\u3c/sup\u3e] Prion in \u3cem\u3eSaccharomyces cerevisiae\u3c/em\u3e [PDF]
Common methods to identify yeast cells containing the prion form of the Sup35 translation termination factor, [PSI+], involve a nonsense suppressor phenotype. Decreased function of Sup35p in [PSI+] cells leads to readthrough of certain nonsense mutations

Absence of cardiovascular manifestations in a haploinsufficient TGFBR1 mouse model [PDF]
Loeys-Dietz syndrome (LDS) is an autosomal dominant arterial aneurysm disease belonging to the spectrum of transforming growth factor beta (TGF beta)-associated vasculopathies. In its most typical form it is characterized by the presence of hypertelorism,

A nonsense mutation in PLD4 is associated with a zinc deficiency-like syndrome in Fleckvieh cattle
BackgroundBovine hereditary zinc deficiency (BHZD) is an autosomal recessive disorder of cattle, first described in Holstein-Friesian animals. Affected calves suffer from severe skin lesions and show a poor general health status.

A truncation mutation in the L1CAM gene in a child with hydrocephalus
Hydrocephalus is a neurodevelopmental, X-linked recessive disorder caused by mutations in the L1CAM gene. The L1CAM gene encodes for L1CAM protein which is essential for the nervous system development including adhesion between neurons, Myelination ...

The role of the A C395 IFNGR1 mutation in determining susceptibility to intracellular infection in Malta [PDF]
Background: The first human mycobacterial susceptibility gene was identified amongst four children on the island of Malta in 1995. All affected children were homozygous for a nonsense mutation at position 395 of the interferon gamma receptor 1 (IFNGR1 ...

A nonsensePAX6mutation in a family with congenital aniridia [PDF]
Congenital aniridia is a rare ocular malformation that presents with severe hypoplasia of the iris and various ocular manifestations. Most cases of congenital aniridia are known to be related to mutations in the paired box gene-6 (PAX6), which is an essential gene in eye development.
