Discussion In CF at least 5-10% of the CF alleles carry a nonsense mutation (e.g. G542X, R553X, R1162X, W1282X; CF Mutation Analysis Consortium, http://www.genet.sickkids.on.ca/cftr/) that causes a premature arrest of translational termination thus preventing the synthesis of a full-length, often non-functional or partially functional, CFTR [4].
