Fig. 5

Dual-luciferase reporter assay quantifies relative expression for uORFs with UTC and stop-strengthening variants associated with EHR phenotypes by PheWAS. Experimental 5′UTRs for a PMVK, b VPS53, and c BCL2L13 for uORF KO, stop-strengthened, or stop-introduced variants are shown. Bars represent co-transfected Firefly to Renilla Luciferase luminescence ratios normalized to associated wild-type 5′UTRs in HEK293T cells measured 48 h post-transfection. P values from one-sample t-test for each condition are displayed above each column. Error bars represent mean + SEM of at least three independent experiments. Raw luciferase measurements are included in the Source Data file.
