Abstract

The authors provide an overview of upstream open reading frame (uORF)-mediated translational control. They describe how aberrant uORF regulation can be translated into pathophysiology. They cite the role of contemporary sequencing technologies in addressing the implications of uORF-mediated translational control in human disease. The authors also conclude that uORF translation has pathophysiological significance.
