Hello Everyone

My son Aditya is 8year old and has single exon 52 deletion.
We are looking for exon skipping therapy.
Is anyone of you getting exon skipping therapy done for your kids.
Any inputs on this would be very helpful.

I know, I wish more people would be more active on this site. I could use more emotional support. We are all going through or will go through similar issues. Sorry to hear that you have not heard back from the Ohio study. Gavin is going to CHOP for an MRI Study. I don't want to do medical trials yet. I have not put him on Steroids yet. The side affects are worse than what the boys are going through. The side effects are not worth an extra year of them walking. We choose quality of life. We know that eventually we will have to put them on meds, but not yet.

I feel horrible, haven't been on this website in forever. We really didn't hear much from our study in Ohio.

Awesomeness ladies, I guess Jenn you would be the one to potentially know since Austin is getting ready to start are they making you stay there for the full 14 weeks or are they allowing you to go back and forth...this could make school a little difficult, but regardless we will take it =) At least we are moving somewhere with all this advances!!!!

My son is going in August, I'm so ecxited for him to be able to be part of this trial. We live in Utah and so thankful they pay for the traveling and lodging. Keeping my fingers crossed for all of us. :)

Jenn, we have our son Trey signed up for the Ambulatory 51 skipping with AVI...we have been in contact with them over that way and they said that they were in the process and just recently followed up with us regarding whether Trey was still ambulatory, heart conditions, blood pressure, steroids, etc, not the basic stuff like just needing the genetic report which is exciting, they said they were delayed and I have no clue how this clinical thing works (do they help with transportation, etc we live in Cali) but we have Trey's information in their hands and just waiting, waiting, waiting... Excited for your son! Cori

We have...we are waiting to get into the Duchenne Clinic here at Rani Children's Hospital, but we are definitely thinking about it...I'll let you know all the details (side effects, etc) they pass onto us when we get more details.
