Target intelligence / Profile preview

Pre-mRNA (DMD gene) (DMD pre-mRNA)

Target
DMD pre-mRNA
Molecular classification
RNA, Precursor mRNA
01

Overview

The pre-mRNA of the DMD gene is the unspliced, primary transcript produced from the DMD (dystrophin) gene. It undergoes extensive and complex splicing to generate mature mRNAs that encode dystrophin protein isoforms. Aberrant splicing can lead to Duchenne or Becker muscular dystrophy. Therapeutic strategies target DMD pre-mRNA to modulate splicing and restore dystrophin production.
