Antisense oligonucleotide-mediated Dnm2 knockdown prevents and reverts myotubular myopathy in mice

X-linked myotubular myopathy is caused by mutations in the gene coding for myotubularin 1, and is characterized by overexpression of dynamin 2. Here the authors develop antisense oligonucleotides to dynamin 2, and show that systemic injection leads to improved pathology in mice.
