Sure enough, they found the other bad gene D1152H to go with W1282X that they already knew about.</end quote></div>
Hi, Marci. I noticed that you have one of the nonsense mutations (W1282X). Have you heard about a new drug that is in trials specifically for these types of genes?
It is called PTC124. I thought you might be interested in some information regarding it.
You can find some information here: <a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.ptcbio.com/2.4_faqs.aspx">http://www.ptcbio.com/2.4_faqs.aspx</a>
My daughter also has this mutation and I am very hopeful about this potential medication! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
