Pediatric neurological disorders are frequently devastating and present unmet needs for effective medicine. The successful treatment of spinal muscular atrophy with splice-switching antisense oligonucleotides (SSO) indicates a feasible path to targeting neurological disorders by redirecting pre-mRNA splicing. One direct outcome is the development of SSOs to treat haploinsufficient disorders by targeting naturally occurring non-productive splice isoforms. The development of personalized SSO treatment further inspired the therapeutic exploration of rare diseases. This review will discuss the recent advances that utilize SSOs to treat pediatric neurological disorders.
儿科神经系统疾病常常具有毁灭性,且对有效药物存在未满足的需求。用剪接转换反义寡核苷酸(SSO)成功治疗脊髓性肌萎缩症表明了通过重定向前体mRNA剪接来靶向神经系统疾病的可行途径。一个直接成果是开发出了通过靶向天然存在的非生产性剪接异构体来治疗单倍剂量不足疾病的SSO。个性化SSO治疗的发展进一步激发了对罕见病的治疗探索。本综述将讨论利用SSO治疗儿科神经系统疾病的最新进展。
