A, Exon 44 deletion can be treated with (i) exon 45 skipping using antisense oligonucleotides, (ii) exon 45 deletion using CRISPR, (iii) exon 45 re-framing using CRISPR, and (iv) exon 45 skipping using CRISPR. B, Exon 2 duplication can be treated with (i) skipping one copy of exon 2 using antisense oligonucleotides, (ii) skipping both copies of exon 2 using antisense oligonucleotides to induce IRES-mediated translation of a N-terminal partially truncated dystrophin, and (iii) deleting one copy of exon 2 using CRISPR. AON, antisense oligonucleotides; gRNA, guide RNA; IRES, internal ribosome entry site.
