Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the DMD gene cause fatal Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). An attractive therapeutic approach is autologous cell transplantation utilizing myogenic progenitors derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Given that a significant number of DMD mutations occur between exons 45 and 55, we developed a gene knock-in approach to correct any mutations downstream of exon 44. We applied this...
