Description: This template compares the wild-type dystrophin gene, which splices exons 43 through 46 into a functional dystrophin protein, with an exon 44 deletion that disrupts the reading frame and produces a premature stop codon and non-functional dystrophin. It then shows exon skipping therapy, where an antisense oligonucleotide hides exon 44 from the splicing machinery to restore the reading frame and produce a partially functional dystrophin protein.
