Mismatched single stranded antisense oligonucleotides can induce efficient dystrophin splice switching

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Antisense oligomer induced exon skipping aims to reduce the severity of Duchenne muscular dystrophy by redirecting splicing during pre-RNA processing such that the causative mutation is by-passed and a shorter but partially functiona...
