Targeted antisense oligonucleotide therapy rescues PRPF31 expression in retinitis pigmentosa caused by a splicing mutation
Stanek and colleagues uncover a novel PRPF31 intronic mutation that disrupts splicing and lowers protein levels. Targeted antisense oligonucleotides restore normal splicing and boost PRPF31 expression in patient-derived RPE, highlighting a potential therapeutic strategy for retinitis pigmentosa.
