Abstract excerpt
Choroideremia is a progressive genetic eye disorder caused by mutations in the CHM gene that encodes the Rab escort protein-1 (REP-1). One of the many CHM mutations described so far is a deep-intronic variant, c.315-4587T>A, that creates a novel splice acceptor site resulting in the insertion of a 98-bp pseudoexon in the CHM transcript. Antisense oligonucleotides (AONs) are a potential therapeutic tool for...
