Are nonsense mutations a particular class of mutation?

So I've looked at these and other previously posted links to no avail. I'm trying to figure out what kind of mutation I have nonsense, missense, etc. so when I hear about new therapies (such as PTC124) I know whether they are relevant to my situation. I thought others might be interested in learning how to find this out as well. I am Delta F508 and G551D. Please let us know if you have a website or method for figuring this out.

I'm searching for this page I know has a list of mutations and what classes they are... having trouble. I'll post again when I find it. Those links should help for now, though.</end quote></div>

Yeah, I've too wished someone could take the list of mutations from quest or Ambry and add a column to show the type and class of each. Maybe a good project for the next student surfing this site for homework answers.

Meanwhile, I'm pretty sure that dF508 is a "deletion" and G551D is a "missense" mutation.

Hi,

its nice to see here girl with celtic G551D mutation...these is missence, delta F508 is really deletion mutation, also I am sorry to write that PTC124 is really not for you...My second one is nonsence R553X (nonsence mutations have X at the end), but there are also clinical trials for deltaF508 mutations!And I think those for dF508 will be ready earlier, so dont worry!

Hi ,

this I have found on this forum and , yes its true...

Here's a cheat sheet that covers some of the most common mutations.

Class I mutations (e.g., G542X, 621+1G>T, and 711+1G>T) result in total deficiency or unstable/non-functional CFTR protein.

* Class II mutations (e.g., delF508, N1303K, and delI507) disrupt normal intracellular processing (e.g., glycosylation), causing instability of CFTR protein, or interfering with its movement to the correct cellular location.
* Class III mutations (e.g., G551D) result in a normal amount of CFTR protein being produced and positioned at the cell surface, but the protein is non-functional.
* Class IV mutations (e.g., R117H, A455E) result in a normal amount of functional CFTR at the cell membrane, but chloride conductance is reduced. These mutations are generally associated with a pancreatic sufficiency.
* Class V mutations (e.g., 3849+10KbC>T)result in reduced levels of normally functional CFTR protein at the cell membrane and are also associated with a less severe phenotype.
