Pseudoexon activation increases phenotype severity in a Becker muscular dystrophy patient

TL;DR: A dystrophinopathy patient with an in‐frame deletion of DMD exons 45–47, and therefore a genetic diagnosis of Becker muscular dystrophy, who presented with a more severe than expected phenotype is reported, finding that the genomic rearrangement promoted recognition of the pseudoexon, causing a severe dystrophic phenotype.

Multi-exon Skipping Using Cocktail Antisense Oligonucleotides in the Canine X-linked Muscular Dystrophy.

TL;DR: A cocktail of antisense morpholinos targeting exon 6 and exon 8 was designed and it restored dystrophin expression in body-wide skeletal muscles and evaluation of the efficacy and safety of multi-exon skipping in the CXMD dog model are presented.

Deliver the promise: RNAs as a new class of molecular entities for therapy and vaccination.

TL;DR: The concept of developing RNA as new molecular entities for therapies has arisen again and again since the discoveries of antisense RNAs, direct RNA-protein interactions, functional noncoding RNAs and RNA-directed gene editing as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exon Skipping Therapy.

TL;DR: Exondys 51 is the first therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy to have been granted accelerated approval by the FDA based on using dystrophin expression as a surrogate marker.

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.
