  • MODIFIED snRNAs FOR USE IN THERAPY
    Publication number: 20110301218
    Abstract: The invention relates to a nucleic acid encoding a small nuclear RNA (snRNA), which snRNA is modified so that it contains sequence capable of hybridizing with the 5? and 3? splice site junctions and an exonic splicing enhancer of an exon of a pre-mRNA, so that the exon sequence is skipped during the splicing process that converts the pre-mRNA in the mature mRNA. The nucleic acid, the modified snRNA and vectors incorporating the nucleic acid may be used in the therapy, in particular in the treatment of muscular dystrophies.
