Multiple Exon Skipping in the Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Hot Spots: Prospects and Challenges
The paper titled "Multiple Exon Skipping in the Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Hot Spots: Prospects and Challenges" explores an advanced therapeutic strategy for treating Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), a severe genetic disorder caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene. This mutation leads to the absence of functional dystrophin protein, which is essential for maintaining muscle integrity. One emerging treatment method involves antisense oligonucleotide (AO)-mediated exon skipping, where specific exons are skipped …
