Suppression of NF1 Nonsense Mutations by RNA-guided RNA Pseudouridylation

A significant proportion (≈20%) of NF1 mutations generate a premature “stop” signal in the middle of the NF1 gene, leading to a truncated and non-functional …

Exploring Nonsense Suppression as a Treatment for NF1

Nonsense mutations are gene lesions that introduce a premature termination codon (PTC) into a messenger RNA (mRNA). Since PTCs are found in a significant number …
