ELX-02 reverses impact of nonsense mutations in RDEB, JEB cells
The experimental therapy ELX-02 reversed the effect of nonsense mutations in skin cells derived from people with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) and junctional epidermolysis bullosa (JEB), a study found. Nonsense mutations in genes result in shorter, non-functional proteins, which commonly occur in RDEB and JEB patients, and…
