How VYONDYS 53 Works

Golodirsen is designed to bind to exon 53 of dystrophin pre-mRNA, resulting in the exclusion of this exon during mRNA processing. This exon skipping is intended to allow for the production of an internally truncated dystrophin protein in patients with specific genetic mutations. By facilitating the production of this protein, the drug targets the underlying genetic mutation in patients amenable to exon 53 skipping.
