Urine mRNA to identify a novel pseudoexon causing dystrophinopathy

Abstract In muscular dystrophies, identification of pathogenic pseudoexons involves sequencing of the target gene cDNA derived from muscle mRNA. Here we use a urine “liquid biopsy,” droplet digital PCR, and sequencing of PCR products to identify a novel cryptic splice site in DMD intron 67 that caus...
