Out of frame mutations in DMD gene cause Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) which is a neuromuscular progressive genetic disorder. In DMD patients, lack of dystrophin causes progressive muscle degeneration, which results in heart and respiratory failure leading to premature death. At present, there is no certain treatment for DMD. DMD gene is the largest gene in human genome by 2.2 mega base pairs and contains 79 exons. In the past few years, gene therapy has been considered a promising DMD treatment, and among various gene-editing technologies, CRISPR/Cas9 system is shown to be more precise and reliable. The aim of this study was to assess the possibility of knocking out exon 48 by using a pair of sgRNAs.
