Splicing intervention for Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
Current Opinion in Pharmacology 2005 October
The manipulation of pre-mRNA to alter gene transcript splicing patterns offers considerable potential for many genetic disorders. In particular, the targeted removal of one or more exons from a gene transcript can skip over, or compensate for, disease-causing mutations. Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), the most common and severe form of muscular dystrophy, is one such disorder that could benefit from this strategy. Splicing modulation can convert a DMD phenotype into the less severe allelic Becker-like phenotype. Recent studies using antisense oligonucleotide-targeted exon skipping to induce near normal dystrophin in vivo in animal models, and in vitro in DMD cell lines, highlight the promise of this approach. On the basis of these successes, human clinical trials could be realized in the near future.
