Translational readthrough ofGLAnonsense mutations suggests dominant-negative effects exerted by the interaction of wild-type and missense variants

Nonsense mutations are relatively frequent in the rare X-linked lysosomal α-galactosidase A (α-Gal) deficiency (Fabry disease; FD), but have been poorly investigated. Here, we evaluated the responsiveness of a wide panel (n = 14) of GLA premature termination codons (PTCs) to the RNA-based approach of drug-induced readthrough through expression of recombinant α-Gal (rGal) nonsense and missense variants.We identified four high-responders to the...
