There was a great deal of discussion around this conference, and particularly the data presentation by GSK/Prosensa for their Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy DMD drug drisapersen. This drug is of course the key competitor to eteplirsen from Sarepta Therapeutics SRPT. Key links and info are archived in this post.
