摘要
Since the initial characterization of the genetic defect for Duchenne muscular dystrophy, much effort has been expended in attempts to develop a therapy for this devastating childhood disease. Gene therapy was the obvious answer but, initially, the dystrophin gene and its product seemed too large and complex for this approach. However, our increasing knowledge of the organization of the gene and the role of dystrophin in muscle function has indicated ways to manipulate them both. Gene therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy now seems to be in reach.
