Readthrough therapies have evolved from early aminoglycosides to modern precision tools including suppressor tRNAs, RNA editing, and CRISPR-based platforms.

Nonsense mutations introduce premature termination codons that lead to truncated proteins and nonsense-mediated mRNA decay.
introduce premature termination codons (PTCs) that lead to truncated proteins and nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD)
Readthrough therapies override premature termination codons and restore full-length protein expression.

A synergistic, modality-tailored approach is advocated to transform nonsense suppression from palliative care to durable, precision-based cures for neurological disorders.
We advocate that a synergistic, modality-tailored approach will transform nonsense suppression from palliative care to durable, precision-based cures for once-untreatable neurological disorders.
Clinical translation of readthrough therapies remains hampered by inefficient CNS delivery, variable efficacy, and the absence of personalized stratification.
