Interplay between DMD point mutations and splicing signals in Dystrophinopathy phenotypes.

Interplay between DMD point mutations and splicing signals in Dystrophinopathy phenotypes.

DMD nonsense and frameshift mutations lead to severe Duchenne muscular dystrophy while in-frame mutations lead to milder Becker muscular dystrophy. Exceptions are found in 10% of cases and the production of alternatively spliced transcripts is considered a key modifier of disease severity. Several e...
