11 AOs by-pass defective instructions and allow semi-functional protein to be made
12 Induced dystrophin is still defective but should be better than nothing
13 Induced dystrophin could be of near normal function in some cases.
14 Exon skipping and DMD Exon skipping can not cure DMD May reduce severity some mutations should respond better than others more efficient exon skipping more functional protein being induced Not applicable to all dystrophin mutations large genomic deletions Dy N loss of crucial binding domains Dystrophi
