First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . (canceled) 2 . A method for treating a patient with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) in need thereof who has a mutation of the DMD gene that is amenable to exon 53 skipping, comprising administering to the patient an antisense oligonucleotide of 25 bases comprising a base sequence that is 100% complementary to 25 consecutive nucleotides of a target region of exon 53 of the human dystrophin pre-mRNA, wherein the target region is within annealing site H53A(+23+47) and annealing site H53A(+39+69), wherein the antisense oligonucleotide base sequence comprises at least 20 consecutive bases of C AUU CAA CUG UUG CCU CCG GUU CUG AAG GUG (SEQ ID NO: 193), in which uracil bases are thymine bases, wherein the antisense oligonucleotide is a morpholino antisense oligonucleotide, wherein the antisense oligonucleotide is chemically linked to a polyethylene glycol chain, and wherein the antisense oligonucleotide specifically hybridizes to the target region to induce exon 53 skipping, thereby treating the patient. 3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the antisense oligonucleotide is administered intravenously. 4 . A method for treating a patient with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) in need thereof who has a mutation of the DMD gene that is amenable to exon 53 skipping, comprising administering to the patient a pharmaceutical composition comprising an antisense oligonucleotide of 25 bases comprising a base sequence that is 100% complementary to 25 consecutive nucleotides of a target region of exon 53 of the human dystrophin pre-mRNA, wherein the target region is within annealing site H53A(+23+47) and annealing site H53A(+39+69), wherein the antisense oligonucleotide base sequence comprises at least 20 consecutive bases of C AUU CAA CUG UUG CCU CCG GUU CUG AAG GUG (SEQ ID NO: 193), in which uracil bases are thymine bases, wherein the antisense oligonucleotide is a morpholino antisense oligonucleotide, wherein the antisense oligonucleotide is chemically linked to a polyethylene glycol chain, and wherein the antisense oligonucleotide specifically hybridizes to the target region to induce exon 53 skipping, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, thereby treating the patient. 5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition is administered intravenously. 6 . A method for restoring an mRNA reading frame to induce dystrophin protein production in a patient with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) in need thereof who has a mutation of the DMD gene that is amenable to exon 53 skipping, comprising administering to the patient an antisense oligonucleotide of 25 bases comprising a base sequence that is 100% complementary to 25 consecutive nucleotides of a target region of exon 53 of the human dystrophin pre-mRNA, wherein the target region is within annealing site H53A(+23+47) and annealing site H53A(+39+69), wherein the antisense oligonucleotide base sequence comprises at least 20 consecutive bases of C AUU CAA CUG UUG CCU CCG GUU CUG AAG GUG (SEQ ID NO: 193), in which uracil bases are thymine bases, wherein the antisense oligonucleotide is a morpholino antisense oligonucleotide, wherein the antisense oligonucleotide is chemically linked to a polyethylene glycol chain, and wherein the antisense oligonucleotide specifically hybridizes to the target region to induce exon 53 skipping, thereby restoring the mRNA reading frame to induce dystrophin protein production in the patient. 7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the antisense oligonucleotide is administered intravenously.
