Characterizing Exon Skipping Efficiency in DMD Patient Samples in Clinical Trials of Antisense Oligonucleotides.

Abstract excerpt

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a degenerative muscle disease that causes progressive loss of muscle mass, leading to premature death. The mutations often cause a distorted reading frame and premature stop codons, resulting in an almost total lack of dystrophin protein. The reading frame can be corrected using antisense oligonucleotides (AONs) that induce exon skipping. The morpholino AON viltolarsen (code...
