How mRNA translation can modulate nonsense-mediated decay

About one third of the gene mutations found in human genetic disorders, including cancer, result in premature translation-termination codons (PTCs) and the rapid degradation of the corresponding mRNAs by nonsense-mediated decay (NMD). However, we have found that human mRNAs with a PTC in close proxi...
