Hi everyone,

Here is a link to an exciting study report! I think some of you see Dr.Wong in Cincy. A couple of years ago she took some skin biopsies from of 3-7 boys and this is the result findings! It is good news!

Hi David,

Thanks so much for posting.  I had not seen that report yet but it definitely agrees with what we have seen.  Jordan may even be a part of those numbers since he is a patient of Dr. Wong, I'm not sure.  We will see her in 2 weeks.  He is still walking very well at age 16 and we do not own a wheelchair.

Thought this group would be interested in a link I found today. It's an abstract of a study to be presented at World Muscle Society that specifically discusses exon 3-7 deletions.

However, seeing that Dr. Wong is lead author perhaps some of you already know about these results.

Hi Lisa!  The above link will show you that skipping exon 8 is on AVI Biopharma's list of top ten exons they are planning to skip (scroll to the bottom of the page).  Unfortunately their is not a timeline attached to it.  However, their first two exon skipping trials are underway...we can only hope that their success will move the other exons along faster.

hello I would like to know if there is an exon skiping if the xon 3 is deleted?

Anybody know if there is anything progressing in the research of exon skipping of exon 8.?

We just got back from Cinn Children's, Dr Wong was in Singapore for 2 weeks. We had the skin biopsy done and my son didn't feel a thing. It is healing nicely. Dr Collins performed it.
