Abstract excerpt
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a severe X-linked neuromuscular disease (NMD) caused by loss-of-function mutations in the DMD gene. RNA-based therapies, especially antisense oligonucleotides (ASO)-mediated exon skipping and adenosine deaminase acting on RNA (ADAR)-guided RNA editing, have emerged as complementary approaches that modulate pre-mRNA splicing or correct transcripts without altering genomic DNA....
