Single Exon Skipping Can Address a Multi-Exon Duplication in the Dystrophin Gene
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a severe muscle wasting disease typically caused by protein-truncating mutations that preclude synthesis of a functional dystrophin. Exonic deletions are the most common type of <i>DMD</i> lesion, however, whole exon duplications account for between 1...
