## Abstract Nonsense‐mediated mRNA decay (NMD) is an mRNA surveillance system that eliminates aberrant mRNAs containing premature translation termination codons (PTCs). We evaluated the role of NMD in of Ullrich's disease. The patient has a frameshift mutation with a PTC in the collagen VI α2 gene
The nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) mechanism is an evolutionarily conserved process ensuring the degradation of transcripts carrying premature termination codon(s). NMD is believed to prevent the synthesis of truncated proteins that could be detrimental to the cell. However, although numerous st
Carpenter syndrome, a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by a combination of craniosynostosis, polysyndactyly, obesity, and other congenital malformations, is caused by mutations in __RAB23__, encoding a member of the Rab-family of small GTPases. In 15 out of 16 families previously repo
