## 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
## Abstract ## Background The most common form of congenital muscular dystrophy is caused by a deficiency in the Ξ±2 chain of lamininβ211, a protein of the extracellular matrix. A wide variety of mutations, including 20 to 30% of nonsense mutations, have been identified in the corresponding gene, _
