New approaches to the treatment of orphan genetic disorders: Mitigating molecular pathologies using chemicals

TL;DR: This review aims to highlight recent advances in mutation-targeted therapies with chemicals that mitigate mutational pathology at the molecular level, for disorders that, for the most part, have no effective treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Construction of nanostructured DNA harbouring phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligonucleotide for controlled tissue distribution in mice.

TL;DR: Tripodna has the potential to deliver PMO, particularly to the liver and spleen, and is evaluated whether this tripodna could control the pharmacokinetic properties of PMO.

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.
