- *Abstract
-
This technology originates from identification of a deep intronic mutation in Dysferlin (DYSF) that alters mRNA splicing to include a mutant peptide fragment within a key DYSF domain. This new antisense oligo nucleotide(AON-)mediated exon-skipping restores production of normal, full-length DYSF in patients' cells in vitro, offering a novel therapeutic solution for patient with Dysferlin-associated maladies.
