Efficacy of Multi-exon Skipping Treatment in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Dog Model Neonates
20 Oct 2018
Abstract excerpt
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is caused by mutations in DMD, which codes for dystrophin. Because the progressive and irreversible degeneration of muscle occurs from childhood, earlier therapy is required to prevent dystrophic progression. Exon skipping by antisense oligonucleotides called phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomers (PMOs), which restores the DMD reading frame and dystrophin expression, is a...
