Description:
Article The splicing of the penultimate exon of the dystrophin gene is developmentally regulated. Here the authors show that the dysregulation of this exon’s splicing leads to the expression of an embryonic dystrophin form with a C-terminus distinct from the adult isoform, which leads to muscle wasting in zebrafish and mice.
