Gene Editing for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy: From Experimental Models to Emerging Therapies

Abstract excerpt

The CRISPR system has emerged as a ground-breaking gene-editing tool, offering promising therapeutic potential for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), a severe genetic disorder affecting approximately 1 in 5000 male births globally. DMD is caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene, which encodes a critical membrane-associated protein essential for maintaining muscle structure, function and repair. Patients with...
