Exonic mutations and exon skipping: Lessons learned from DFNA5 [PDF]
Dysregulation of splicing is a common factor underlying many inherited diseases including deafness. For one deafness-associated gene, DFNA5, perturbation of exon 8 splicing results in a constitutively active truncated protein. To date, only intronic mutations have been reported to cause exon 8 skipping in patients with DFNA5-related deafness.

Background ERBB2 exon 16 skipping is an alternatively spliced isoform of ERBB2, which was reported to lead to oncogenic activation of ERBB2 and could potentially cause tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) resistance in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in ...

Antisense-induced exon skipping for duplications in Duchenne muscular dystrophy
Background Antisense-mediated exon skipping is currently one of the most promising therapeutic approaches for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Using antisense oligonucleotides (AONs) targeting specific exons the DMD reading frame is restored and ...

Exon-skipping antisense oligonucleotides for cystic fibrosis therapy [PDF]
Significance Cystic fibrosis (CF) is caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator ( CFTR ) gene, which can lead to respiratory failure. To date, there is no treatment for CF caused by the CFTR- W1282X ...

Genetic variations of CD33 have been implicated as a susceptibility factor of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). A polymorphism on exon 2 of CD33, rs12459419, affects the alternative splicing of this exon.

Exon skipping in human β-casein
Earlier amino acid alignments of mature beta-caseins showed that the human protein was shifted in alignment relative to other species, with amino acid deletions in the N-terminal region and others inserted in the C-terminal region. Our alignment, based on cDNA sequences and their translation products, has shown that the amino acid deletions correspond ...

In this study, we synthesised a morpholino nucleoside-uridine (MNA-U) phosphoramidite and evaluated the potential of a MNA-modified antisense oligonucleotide (AO) sequences to induce exon 23 skipping in mdx mouse myotubes in vitro towards extending the ...

Antisense PMO cocktails effectively skip dystrophin exons 45-55 in myotubes transdifferentiated from DMD patient fibroblasts. [PDF]
Antisense-mediated exon skipping has made significant progress as a therapeutic platform in recent years, especially in the case of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD).

Wild-type mouse models to screen antisense oligonucleotides for exon-skipping efficacy in Duchenne muscular dystrophy. [PDF]
A readily available animal model is essential for rapidly identifying effective treatments for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), a devastating neuromuscular disorder caused by the lack of dystrophin protein, which results from frame-disrupting mutations

Background Mutations in ciliary genes cause a spectrum of both overlapping and distinct clinical syndromes (ciliopathies). CEP120 and CC2D2A are paradigmatic examples for this genetic heterogeneity and pleiotropy as mutations in both cause Joubert ...
