Translational Readthrough: Making sense out of nonsense mutations
Official Website →
Event Details
Nonsense mutations are a causal factor of nearly 10% of genetic disorders.
To make sense out of these nonsense mutations, we have *Dr. Sandeep Eswarappa* joining us in our *ORDI Care For Rare* Webinar Series on *August 29th, 2020 @ 4PM*.

Key Takeaways from the Webinar:
1. About 10% genetic diseases are caused by nonsense mutations, which result in premature stop codons
2. Strategies that induce translational readthrough across such premature stop codons will provide therapeutic benefits
3. Our experimental results show that anti-sense oligonucleotides are promising molecules to achieve this
