  • Publication number: 20220275372
    Abstract: The present invention relates to conjugates formed from a cell-penetrating peptide carrier linked to a therapeutic molecule, wherein the peptide carrier is defined by specific domains and the therapeutic molecule is a nucleic acid formed of trinucleotide repeats. The present invention further relates to the use of such a conjugate in methods of treatment or as a medicament, especially in the treatment of trinucleotide repeat disorders such as myotonic dystrophy (DM1).

  • Patent number: 10465191
    Abstract: Provided are tricyclo-DNA (tc-DNA) AON and methods employing tc-DNA AON for modifying splicing events that occur during pre-mRNA processing. Tricyclo-DNA (tc-DNA) AON are described that may be used to facilitate exon skipping or to mask intronic silencer sequences and/or terminal stein-loop sequences during pre-mRNA processing and to target RNase-mediated destruction of processed mRNA.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9080170
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method to improve the activity of engineered U7 snRNAs used in the context of RNA-based therapeutics; particularly in exon skipping, exon inclusion, and mRNA eradication strategies. The resulting modified U7 snRNAs are useful for treating neuromuscular diseases, in particular Duchenne neuromuscular dystrophy, myotonic dystrophy DM1 and spinal muscular atrophy.
