I read a little but about Ataluren on cff and it talks about treating non-sense mutations?? What in layman's terms does Ataluren do? what's a non-sense mutation?

A nonsense mutation means any mutation that keeps your body from fully creating a needed protein. This is what CF is as well as things such as Muscular Dystrophy and hemophilia (which one of my boys has). It is caused by the genetic instruction stopping prematurely.
Ataluren is hoped to fix these mutations by 'turning back on' the process so your body can continue to build the protein to completion.
