- 1. An isolated antisense oligonucleotide 15 to 80 nucleotides in length, wherein said oligonucleotide induces exon 53 skipping in the human dystrophin pre-mRNA in a muscle cell, said oligonucleotide comprising a modification.
- 4. An isolated antisense oligonucleotide of 18 to 50 nucleotides in length, wherein said oligonucleotide binds to an exon-internal sequence of exon 53 of the human dystrophin pre-mRNA and induces skipping of said exon in a muscle cell, said oligonucleotide comprising a modification.
