The UMD-DMD France France mutations database
Therapeutic approaches

The three functions below are dedicated to the exon-skipping approach.

They give access to various levels of analysis to evaluate the number of patients elligible for a specific exon-skipping. Predictions are made without consideration for technical feasability (multi-exon skipping is much more difficult to induce than single exon-skipping) and take into account only genotypic and phenotypic data.

In frame correction table

This function evaluates the number of large rearrangements that can be theoretically rescued by skipping of one, two and/or three exons. For each situation, are also indicated if the exon(s) to skip is(are) located on the 5',3' or possibly on both sides of the deletion.

Large rearrangements rescuable by mono-exon skipping

This function displays the frequency and extend of the various deletions and duplications of the DMD gene.

Multi-exon skipping leading to BMD

This option displays the impact of all possible large deletions (one or more exons) on the reading frame.


The three functions below are dedicated to the nonsense readthrough approach.

They give access to the list of all patients with a nonsense mutation that can be eligible for the nonsense readthrough therapeutic approach.

Patients with a TGA premature stop codon

This function displays the list of patients with a substitution that results in the creation of a premature TGA stop codon.

Patients with a TAG premature stop codon

This function displays the list of patients with a substitution that results in the creation of a premature TAG stop codon.

Patients with a TAA premature stop codon

This function displays the list of patients with a substitution that results in the creation of a premature TAA stop codon.
