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.

Insecticide resistance mediated 1 by an exon skipping event [PDF]
Many genes increase coding capacity by alternate exon usage. The gene encoding the insect nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) a6 subunit, target of the bio-insecticide spinosad, is one example of this and expands protein diversity via alternative ...

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

Persistent Dystrophin Protein Restoration 90 Days after a Course of Intraperitoneally Administered Naked 2′OMePS AON and ZM2 NP-AON Complexes in mdx Mice [PDF]
In Duchenne muscular dystrophy, the exon-skipping approach has obtained proof of concept in animal models, myogenic cell cultures, and following local and systemic administration in Duchenne patients.

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 ...

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).

How much dystrophin is enough: the physiological consequences of different levels of dystrophin in the mdx mouse [PDF]
Splice modulation therapy has shown great clinical promise in Duchenne muscular dystrophy, resulting in the production of dystrophin protein. Despite this, the relationship between restoring dystrophin to established dystrophic muscle and its ability to ...

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 ...
