Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for inducing skipping of exon 24 of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) pre-mRNA. Further, treating cystic fibrosis (CF) using a splicing modulator, such as an antisense oligonucleotide, capable of inducing the skipping of exon 24 of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) pre-mRNA. Also provided are a composition and a kit comprising the splicing modulator.
Abstract: The present invention provides methods for treating Cystic Fibrosis (CF) and methods for suppressing the inclusion of a cryptic exon between exon 22 and 23 as a result of the mutation 3849+10 Kb C-to-T comprising the step of administering a pharmaceutical composition comprising synthetic oligonucleotides complementary to a region of the CFTR comprising the 3849+10 Kb C-to-T mutation oligonucleotides and a composition comprising one or more CFTR modifiers.
