Nucleobase-modified antisense oligonucleotides containing 5-(phenyltriazol)-2′-deoxyuridine nucleotides induce exon-skipping:In vitro [PDF]
We investigated the potential of nucleobase-modified antisense oligonucleotides to induce exon-skipping, and found that 5-(phenyltriazol)-2′-deoxyuridine-modified antisense oligonucleotides induced efficient exon-skipping in vitro.

Identification of small molecule and genetic modulators of AON-induced dystrophin exon skipping by high-throughput screening. [PDF]
One therapeutic approach to Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) recently entering clinical trials aims to convert DMD phenotypes to that of a milder disease variant, Becker Muscular Dystrophy (BMD), by employing antisense oligonucleotides (AONs) targeting ...

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a progressive X-linked disease caused by mutations in the DMD gene that prevent the expression of a functional dystrophin protein. Exon duplications represent 6%–11% of mutations, and duplications of exon 2 (Dup2) are

ᅟ Animals are known to have higher rates of exon skipping than other eukaryotes. In a recent study, Grau-Bové et al. (Genome Biology 19:135, 2018) have used RNA-seq data across 65 eukaryotic species to investigate when and how this high prevalence of ...

Combined Computational-Experimental Analyses of CFTR Exon Strength Uncover Predictability of Exon-Skipping Level. [PDF]
International audienceWith the increased number of identified nucleotide sequence variations in genes, the current challenge is to classify them as disease causing or neutral.

Exon skipping as a therapeutic strategy applied to an RYR1 mutation with pseudo-exon inclusion causing a severe core myopathy. [PDF]
International audienceCentral core disease is a myopathy often arising from mutations in the type 1 ryanodine receptor (RYR1) gene, encoding the sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium release channel RyR1. No treatment is currently available for this disease. We

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), the most common lethal heritable childhood disease, is caused by mutations in the DMD gene that result in the absence of functional dystrophin protein.

A multi-exon-skipping detection assay reveals surprising diversity of splice isoforms of spinal muscular atrophy genes. [PDF]
Humans have two near identical copies of Survival Motor Neuron gene: SMN1 and SMN2. Loss of SMN1 coupled with the predominant skipping of SMN2 exon 7 causes spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), a neurodegenerative disease.

Large introns in relation to alternative splicing and gene evolution: a case study of Drosophila bruno-3 [PDF]
Background: Alternative splicing (AS) of maturing mRNA can generate structurally and functionally distinct transcripts from the same gene. Recent bioinformatic analyses of available genome databases inferred a positive correlation between intron length ...
