Abstract excerpt
Duchene muscular dystrophy (DMD) and Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) are genetic neuromuscular disorders that affect skeletal and cardiac muscle resulting from mutations in the dystrophin gene (DMD), coding for dystrophin protein. Read-through therapies hold great promise for the treatment of genetic diseases harboring nonsense mutations, such as DMD/BMD, as they enable a complete translation of the affected...
