Abstract excerpt
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is caused by mutations in the DMD gene. Most deletions, duplications, or indels lead to shift of mRNA reading frame, which prevent the production of dystrophin protein. DMD is the leading fatal genetic disorder in childhood. One therapeutic strategy aims to skip one or more exons to restore reading frame to enable the production of internally truncated proteins with partial...
