## Abstract ## Background Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophies are allelic disorders arising from mutations in the dystrophin gene. Duchenne muscular dystrophy is characterised by an absence of functional protein, while Becker muscular dystrophy is usually caused by inβframe deletions allowing
We studied the effects in Xenopus embryos of overexpression of antisense RNA complementary to the messenger RNA of eFGF. We show that the expression of sense RNA can be severely depressed in the presence of an excess of antisense RNA. This occurs by both partial destruction of the message and by a d
