Losing my mind...

Not that particular drug, Jada. It also is being studied for Muscular Dystrophy. They are hoping that (I hope I get this right-someone please correct me if I'm wrong!) it will correct the nonsense mutations (mutations that end in X), that can cause several different diseases.

Here's a link (muscular dystrophy site- I had a hard time finding a link for some reason):

<a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.muscular-dystrophy.org/research/research_news/ptc124_daily.html">Link</a>

"<i>PTC124 binds to components in the cell's production machinery called ribosomes and "convinces" them to ignore the early 'stop' signal, so that a complete, functional protein is produced. The drug will not repair the genetic error and therefore will need to be taken throughout the life of a person affected by the condition. "</i>

I hope this drug comes through for Kaylee, Terri! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> I can't help with the mutation info though- sorry.

Here's what I found on the mutation

Thanks for the responses--I have no idea on how to look up thisstuff about the gene mutations. I appreciate all of your imput!

Here is my origional thread--you will see why I think I have lost my mind--I didn't even remember posting this! [Must have been all the pharmacological (sp)experimenting of the 70"s....]
