Abstract
Targeting of pre-mRNA splicing has yielded a rich variety of strategies for altering gene expression as a treatment for disease. The search for therapeutics that can modulate splicing has been dominated by antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) and small molecule compounds, with each platform achieving remarkably effective results in the clinic. The success of RNA-targeting drugs has led to the exploration of new strategies to expand the repertoire of this type of therapeutic. Here, we discuss some of the more common causes of faulty gene expression and provide examples of approaches that have been developed to target and correct these defects for therapeutic value.
