  • Publication number: 20240301428
    Abstract: The invention is directed to one or more antisense polynucleotides and their use in pharmaceutical compositions in a strategy to induce exon skipping in the ?-sarcoglycan gene in patients suffering from Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy-20 (LGM-D)2C) or in patients at risk of such a disease. The invention also provides methods of preventing or treating muscular dystrophy, e.g., LGMD)2C, by exon skipping in the gamma sarcoglycan gene using antisense polynucleotides. Accordingly, in some aspects the in-vention provides an isolated antisense oligonucleotide, wherein the oligonucleotide specifically hybridizes to an exon target region of a ?-sarcoglycan RNA. In another aspect, the invention provides a method of inducing exon-skipping of a gamma sarcoglycan RNA, comprising delivering an antisense oligonucleotide or a composition to a cell.
