Abstract excerpt
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X chromosome-linked lethal muscular disorder with progressing muscle wasting and weakness caused by mutations in the gene encoding a subsarcolemmal protein dystrophin. For a long time, there was no effective cure; however, advances in molecular biology have allowed the development of radical treatment approaches. Among them, exon-skipping therapy using antisense...
