Introducing sense into nonsense in treatments of human genetic diseases

L Linde, B Kerem - Trends in genetics, 2008 - cell.com
Approximately one-third of alleles causing genetic diseases carry premature termination
codons (PTCs), which lead to the production of truncated proteins. The past decade has …
