  • Publication number: 20230391840
    Abstract: There is described a nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding a functional dystrophin protein. Also described is a vector, a host cell and a pharmaceutical composition comprising the nucleic acid molecule; use of the nucleic acid molecule in therapy, such as in the treatment of a muscular dystrophy; and a method of treating muscular dystrophy, the method comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of the nucleic acid molecule to a patient suffering from a muscular dystrophy.

    Assignee: Royal Holloway And Bedford New College
    Inventors: George Dickson, Linda Popplewell
  • Patent number: 11697811
    Abstract: Molecules are provided for inducing or facilitating exon skipping in forming spliced mRNA products from pre-mRNA molecules in cells. The molecules may be provided directly as oligonucleotides or expression products of vectors that are administered to a subject. High rates of skipping can be achieved. High rates of skipping reduce the severity of a disease like Duchene Muscular Dystrophy so that the disease is more like Becker Muscular Dystrophy. This is a severe reduction in symptom severity and mortality.

    Assignee: Royal Holloway, University of London
    Inventors: Linda Popplewell, Ian Graham, John George Dickson
  • Patent number: 11624066
    Abstract: The invention relates to neurodegenerative disorders, and in particular to novel oligonucleotides for treating such conditions, for example Alzheimer's disease. The invention provides novel antisense oligonucleotides, and compositions comprising such oligos, and therapies and methods for treating neurodegenerative disorders. The invention includes genome editing techniques for achieving similar results as using the novel antisense oligonucleotides.

  • Publication number: 20230060409
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and compositions for the treatment of NF-1 and NF-1 mediated conditions. The present disclosure further provides for methods of exon skipping and exon retention and compositions for use in such methods. Such methods of exon skipping and exon retention may be used in the methods of treatment discussed herein. The present disclosure further provides new therapeutic compounds, particularly oligonucleotides, including antisense oligonucleotides, for use in the methods described herein.
