Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to antisense oligonucleotides that modulate the expression of and/or function of Dystrophin family, in particular, by targeting natural antisense polynucleotides of Dystrophin family. The invention also relates to the identification of these antisense oligonucleotides and their use in treating diseases and disorders associated with the expression of DMD family.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of upregulating a function of and/or the expression of a Dystrophin family polynucleotide selected from SEQ ID NO 2 or a polyuncleotide encoding such a sequence in patient cells or tissues in vivo or in vitro comprising: contacting said cells or tissues with at least one antisense oligonucleotide of about 15-30 nucleotides in length that is complementary to and specifically hybridizable with a 15-30nucleotide region of a natural antisense polynucleot…
