Efficacy of systemic morpholino exon‐skipping in duchenne dystrophy dogs
13 Mar 2009
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is caused by the inability to produce dystrophin protein at the myofiber membrane. A method to rescue dystrophin production by antisense oligonucleotides, termed exon-skipping, has been reported for the mdx mouse and in four DMD patients by local intramuscular injection. We sought to test efficacy and toxicity of intravenous oligonucleotide (morpholino)-induced exon...
