Translational Read-Through Drugs (TRIDs) Are Able to Restore Protein Expression and Ciliogenesis in Fibroblasts of Patients with Retinitis Pigmentosa Caused by a Premature Termination Codon in <i>FAM161A</i>

Translational Read-Through Drugs (TRIDs) Are Able to Restore Protein Expression and Ciliogenesis in Fibroblasts of Patients with Retinitis Pigmentosa Caused by a Premature Termination Codon in <i>FAM161A</i>

Ataluren and Gentamicin are translational readthrough drugs (TRIDs) that induce premature termination codon (PTC) readthrough, resulting in the production of full-length proteins that usually harbor a single missense substitution. FAM161A is a ciliary protein which is expressed in photoreceptors, an...
