TLDR
The results confirm the wide variability of the mRNA expression levels previously reported and represent a further exception to the rules governing susceptibility to nonsense-mediated decay.

Does the nonsense-mediated mRNA decay mechanism prevent the synthesis of truncated BRCA1, CHK2, and p53 proteins?

TL;DR: This study investigated whether endogenous alleles of breast cancer predisposing genes carrying nonsense codons were able to produce detectable amounts of truncated proteins in lymphoblastoid cell lines, and found that BRCA1 and CHK2 truncation proteins could not be detected, even when NMD was inhibited.

Mucopolysaccharidosis type II: an update on mutation spectrum.

TL;DR: Attempts have been made to establish genotype–phenotype correlations in order to provide an indication of the likely prognosis and a basis on which to evaluate treatment, and the extreme heterogeneity of IDS gene alterations confirms the high degree of clinical heterogeneity in MPS II.

Expression of the muscle glycogen phosphorylase gene in patients with McArdle disease: the role of nonsense-mediated mRNA decay.

TL;DR: Nearly 35% of all mutations identified in the muscle glycogen phosphorylase gene (PYGM) in patients with McArdle disease result in premature termination codons (PTCs), particularly the p.R50X mutation, which elicited decay in all the genotypes tested.
Journal ArticleDOI

Messenger RNA surveillance systems monitoring proper translation termination.

TL;DR: In this review, recent achievements in the investigation of mRNA surveillance pathways, including nonsense-mediated mRNA decay and nonstop- mediated mRNA surveillance pathway, will be discussed.
