Share price dropped 9% yesterday. I hope this isn't bad news? I hope it was caused by institutions offloading shares to try and reduce the price and go in again to buy big today?..although I thought that was illlegal?.......

Hi everybody
my son has been diagnose from DMD, he has a point mutation in exon 34, a deletion of a nucleotide c 4841. I would like to know if somebody has also the same kind of mutation, and what is coming for patients with this kind of mutations?
kind regards
Gonzalo

What I cannot stop thinking about ... not the stock PPS, the conditions for FDA approval, the financial partnerships that may develop ...
What I cannot stop thinking about are a handful of young men who are PUTTING AWAY THEIR CHAIRS.

Hi, wondering if anyone could shed any light on a couple of things.
My son has an exon 43 deletion, which would be helped by the current Prosensa PRO044 trial drug getting tested at the moment.
1. Is it the same method of exon skipping that both Sarepta & Prosensa are using?
2. If Sarepta 'win' the race to produce exon skipping for the market (& Prosensa slow down their research), have they got any plans for exon skipping which would help with 43 deletion? (I know they are already doing 51 & 50)
Thanks, if anyone can enlighten me.

They are NOT the same chemistry, no. They are the same basic "technique" to use sufficiently vague term. They are both trying to allow the body to create partial dystrophin through the exon-skip, so the effects of each should be similar if not identical for the same amount of dystrophin produced.
But Prosensa uses PPMO chemistry while Sarepta uses PMO. The exact differences are beyond my understanding, but there are significant differences.
It SEEMS from GSK trials that PPMO works faster in producting first dystrophin, by matter of weeks. Sarepta is slower to show dystrophin production, but does kick in after at least 36 weeks, and SEEMS to have better safety profile so far.
