Abstract: The invention relates to the skipping of the CEP290 exon 36 in an individual suffering from a retinal dystrophy accounted for by a nonsense mutation or a premature termination codon generated by a frameshift mutation in exon 36 or an upstream exon, including the c.4723A>T, c.4771C>T, c.4714G>T, c.4786_4790del, c.4791_4794del, c.4732G>T, c.4625_4626insCATG (35), c.4792_4795del, c.4801C>T, c.4805C>T, or c.4811G>A mutations, to bypass protein truncation and lessen retinal damages. Here, studying fibroblasts from control individuals, and two patients carrying the CEP290 c.4723A>T nonsense mutation, they show low levels of spontaneous skipping of exon 36 arising from both endogenous basal skipping and mutation-induced skipping. The minimally shortened and mutation-free CEP290 mRNA produced by skipping of exon 36 in the fibroblasts of the two patients is translated into a protein isoform that localizes at the centrosome and allows the formation of primary cilia, yet with elongated axonemes.

Abstract: A vehicle interior assembly includes a frame and a fall away door that closes off an opening in the frame when in a closed position. The door moves between the closed position and an open position via sequential vertical and horizontal movements. From the closed position, the door first drops vertically to a dropped position. A final portion of this vertical movement may be damped movement. From the dropped position, the door moves horizontally to the open position, at which the door is concealed from view from the exterior of the assembly. Various guides can be provided to define the movement path of the door. Various types of non-visible sensors can be used to detect a user's intention to open and close the door.
