Use of capillary Western immunoassay (Wes) for quantification of dystrophin levels in skeletal muscle of healthy controls and individuals with Becker and Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

TL;DR: The ProteinSimple capillary immunoassay (Wes) method is demonstrated to be a suitable, efficient and reliable method for quantification of dystrophin expression as a biomarker in DMD clinical drug development.
Journal ArticleDOI

Linear motifs confer functional diversity onto splice variants

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that short linear motifs are key components for establishing protein diversity between splice variants, suggesting that protein isoform diversity is tightly coupled to the modulation of IDRs.
Journal ArticleDOI

TNF-α-Induced microRNAs Control Dystrophin Expression in Becker Muscular Dystrophy.

TL;DR: The findings suggest a model where chronic inflammation in distinct microenvironments induces pathological microRNAs, initiating a self-sustaining feedback loop that exacerbates disease progression, and contributes to variable dystrophin levels in muscular dystrophy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gene Correction of a Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Mutation by Meganuclease-Enhanced Exon Knock-In

TL;DR: This work demonstrates that genome surgery on human DMD gene mutations can be achieved by MN-induced locus-specific genome cleavage and homologous recombination knock-in of deleted exons.
Journal ArticleDOI

Muscular dystrophy: new challenges and review of the current clinical trials

TL;DR: The advances in the field of muscular dystrophy have resulted in improved clinical course and survival, and the encouraging results of early experimental studies could further improve these outcomes in the future.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
