Newborn screening of duchenne muscular dystrophy specifically targeting deletions amenable to exon-skipping therapy

Abstract Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a lethal progressive muscle-wasting disease. New treatment strategies relying on DMD gene exon-skipping therapy have recently been approved and about 30% of patients could be amenable to exon 51, 53 or 45 skipping.
