A deep intronic target for splicing correction on spinal muscular atrophy gene

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present methods and compositions for blocking the effect of the intronic inhibitory splicing region of intron 7 of the SMN2 gene, which is essential for initiating a long distance steric inhibitory interaction.

Engineered CRISPR-OsCas12f1 and RhCas12f1 with robust activities and expanded target range for genome editing

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors identify six uncharacterized Cas12f1 proteins with nuclease activity in mammalian cells from assembled bacterial genomes, which respectively target 5' T-rich Protospacer Adjacent Motifs (PAMs) and 5' C-rich PAMs, show the highest editing activity.

Evaluation of Exon Skipping and Dystrophin Restoration in In Vitro Models of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors describe and indicate the relevant bibliography of all the methods that may be used in this evaluation and describe in detail the protocols routinely followed at our institution, one to evaluate the efficacy of skipping at RNA level (nested PCR) and the other the restoration of protein expression (myoblot).

Development of Therapeutic RNA Manipulation for Muscular Dystrophy

TL;DR: A review of recent scientific and clinical progress of ASO and other novel RNA manipulations, including RNA-based editing using MS2 coat protein-conjugated adenosine deaminase acting on the RNA (MCP-ADAR) system illustrating the efficacy and limitations of therapies to restore dystrophin.

Dystrophin: The protein product of the duchenne muscular dystrophy locus

TL;DR: The identification of the mdx mouse as an animal model for DMD has important implications with regard to the etiology of the lethal DMD phenotype, and the protein dystrophin is named because of its identification via the isolation of the Duchenne muscular dystrophy locus.

Local Dystrophin Restoration with Antisense Oligonucleotide PRO051

TL;DR: Intramuscular injection of antisense oligonucleotide PRO051 induced dystrophin synthesis in four patients with Duchenne's muscular dystrophy who had suitable mutations, suggesting that further studies might be feasible.
