## Exon skipping to change Duchenne into Becker dystrophy The exon-skipping technique tries to change a Duchenne into a Becker mutation. If a deletion or a point mutation disturbs the reading frame, and thus causes Duchenne dystrophy, the reading frame can be restored by removing one or more exons

Antisense-mediated exon skipping aiming for reading frame restoration is currently a promising therapeutic application for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). This approach is mutation specific, but as the majority of DMD patients have deletions that cluster in hotspot regions, the skipping of a smal
## Abstract Mutations in the dystrophin gene cause an Xβlinked genetic disorder: Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Stem cell therapy is an attractive method to treat DMD because a small number of cells are required to obtain a therapeutic effect. Here, we discussed about multiple types of myogenic
