Successful skipping of abnormal pseudoexon by antisense oligonucleotides in vitro for a patient with beta-propeller protein-associated neurodegeneration.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Pathogenic variants in WDR45 on chromosome Xp11 cause neurodegenerative disorder beta-propeller protein-associated neurodegeneration (BPAN). Currently, there is no effective therapy for BPAN. Here we report a 17-year-old female patient with BPAN and show that antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) was effective in vitro. The patient had developmental delay and later showed extrapyramidal signs since the age of 15 years. MRI findings showed iron deposition in the globus pallidus and substantia nigra on T2 MRI. Whole genome sequencing and RNA sequencing revealed generation of pseudoexon due to inclusion of intronic sequences triggered by an intronic variant that is remote from the exon-intron junction: WDR45 (OMIM #300526) chrX(GRCh37):g.48935143G > C, (NM_007075.4:c.235 + 159C > G). We recapitulated the exonization of intron sequences by a mini-gene assay and further sought antisense oligonucleotide that induce pseudoexon skipping using our recently developed, a dual fluorescent splicing reporter system that encodes two fluorescent proteins, mCherry, a transfection marker designed to facilitate evaluation of exon skipping and split eGFP, a splicing reaction marker. The results showed that the 24-base ASO was the strongest inducer of pseudoexon skipping. Our data presented here have provided supportive evidence for in vivo preclinical studies.
