BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Antisense oligonucleotide (ASO)-mediated exon-skipping is an effective approach to restore the disrupted reading frame of the dystrophin gene for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Currently, four FDA-approved ASOs can target three different exons, but these therapies are mutation-specific and only benefit a subset of patients. Understanding the broad applicability of exon-skipping approaches is essential for prioritizing the development of additional therapies with the greatest potential impact on the DMD population. This review offers an updated analysis of all theoretical exon-skipping strategies and their applicability across the patient population, with a specific focus on DMD-associated mutations documented in the UMD-DMD database. Unlike previous studies, this approach leverages the inclusion of phenotypic data for each mutation, providing a more comprehensive and clinically relevant perspective.
METHODS: The theoretical applicability of all single and double exon-skipping strategies, along with multi exon-skipping strategies targeting exons 3-9 and 45-55, was evaluated for all DMD mutations reported in the UMD-DMD database.
RESULTS: Single and double exon-skipping approaches were applicable for 92.8% of large deletions, 93.7% of small lesions, 72.4% of duplications, and 90.3% of all mutations analyzed. Exon 51 was the most relevant target and was applicable for 10.6% of all mutations and 17.2% of large deletions. Additionally, two multi-exon-skipping approaches, targeting exons 45-55 and 3-9, were relevant for 70.6% of large deletions and 19.2% of small lesions.
CONCLUSIONS: Current FDA-approved ASOs were applicable to 27% of the UMD-DMD population analyzed, leaving a significant portion of patients without access to exon-skipping therapies. The clinical translation of alternative approaches is critical to expanding the accessibility of these therapies for the DMD population.
