Agammaglobulinemia: causative mutations and their implications for novel therapies

TL;DR: Research into alternative treatment strategies that aim at rescuing the expression of the affected protein, thus giving rise to functional B-cells are underway, and advances in genomic targeting are likely to make this option viable in the near future.

Agammaglobulinemia: causative mutations and their implications for novel

TL;DR: In this article, gene therapy was used to correct the defective gene or replace it with a functional copy, and splicing of the affected transcripts was modulated to make this option viable in the near future.

Challenges associated with homologous directed repair using CRISPR-Cas9 and TALEN to edit the DMD genetic mutation in canine Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

TL;DR: Results show methods must be modified to increase the efficiency of HDR-mediated gene repair and protein expression, as clear benefits were not seen on histopathologic analysis, immunofluorescence microscopy, and force measurements.

Antisense oligonucleotide drugs for Duchenne muscular dystrophy: how far have we come and what does the future hold?

TL;DR: Although glucocorticoid treatment has shown potential value in DMD, other treatment options are heavily being explored, and antisense-mediated exon skipping is currently one of the most promising treatment options.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exon skipping for Duchenne muscular dystrophy: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

TL;DR: Current available data do not show evidence that exon-skipping drugs are effective in DMD, and a meta-analysis and utilization of the real-world data may provide a more precise estimate of the effect of exon skipping in this disease.

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.
