Abstract excerpt
Antisense oligonucleotide (ASO)-mediated exon skipping can restore the open reading frame of dystrophin transcripts for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patients. This allows production of internally deleted dystrophin proteins as found in the later onset, less severely progressive Becker muscular dystrophy. At present, ASOs that induce exon skipping and dystrophin restoration are approved for the treatment of...
