The lack of the Celf2a splicing factor converts a Duchenne genotype into a Becker phenotype
Muscular Dystrophy can be caused by mutations in the dystrophingene, causing the severe Duchenne form or the mild Becker form depending on if the transcript is in or out-of-frame. Here the authors identify a Duchenne-type mutation that gives a Becker-like phenotype due to skipping of exon 45.
