Skipping exon 50 will make an in-frame mutation for your son. Good new is that AVI Biopharma works on skipping 50, they received $2.4 M from Charley's Fund to go to clinical trials with that -- Charley also has a deletion of exon 51. They are using the best possible morpholino (PPMO) for skipping 50; this was proven effective on the heart as well as skeletal muscle in mice.

Charley also has a deletion of exon 51. He is 8 yrs old. Your son is a cutie. How old was he when he was diagnosed? -- Tracy
