Systemic delivery of an AAV9 exon-skipping vector significantly improves or prevents features of Duchenne muscular dystrophy in the Dup2 mouse

Systemic delivery of an AAV9 exon-skipping vector significantly improves or prevents features of Duchenne muscular dystrophy in the Dup2 mouse

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is typically caused by mutations that disrupt the DMD reading frame, but nonsense mutations in the 5′ part of the gene induce utilization of an internal ribosomal entry site (IRES) in exon 5, driving expression of a highly functional N-truncated dystrophin. We have...
