Challenges for antisense oligonucleotide-based therapeutics, in particular for exon 51-skipping in Duchenne muscular dystrophy

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a lethal muscle disorder characterized by mutations in the DMD gene. These mutations primarily disrupt the reading frame, leading to an absence of functional dystrophin protein. Exon-skipping through the use of antisense oligonucleotides has served as a promising...
