abstract |
The present disclosure provides antisense oligonucleotides, compositions, and methods that target ATP7B exon 6 or a flanking intron, thereby modulating splicing of ATP7B pre-mRNA to increase the level of ATP7B mRNA molecules having exon 6, e.g., to provide a therapy for Wilson disease. The present disclosure provides an antisense oligonucleotide including a nucleobase sequence at least 70% complementary to an ATP7B target sequence in exon 6, a 5'-flanking intron, a 3'-flanking intron, or a combination of exon 6 and the 5'-flanking or 3'-flanking intron. |
