Popis: Background Eteplirsen, the first FDA-approved RNA-modifying therapy for DMD, is applicable to ∼13% of patients with DMD. Because multiple exonic deletions are amenable to exon 51 skipping, the isoforms resulting from the various exon 51-skipped transcripts may vary in stability, function, and phenotype. Objective/methods We conducted a detailed review of dystrophinopathy published literature and unpublished databases to compile phenotypic features of patients with exon 51 "skip-equivalent" deletions. Results Theoretically, 48 different in-frame transcripts may result from exon 51 skipping. We found sufficient clinical information on 135 patients carrying mutations that would result in production of 11 (23%) of these transcripts, suggesting the remainder have not been identified in vivo. The majority had mild phenotypes: BMD (n = 81) or isolated dilated cardiomyopathy (n = 3). Particularly interesting are the asymptomatic (n = 10) or isolated hyperCKemia (n = 20) patients with deletions of exons 45- 51, 48- 51, 49- 51 and 50- 51. Finally, 16 (12%) had more severe phenotypes described as intermediate (n = 2) or DMD (n = 14), and 6 reports had no definitive phenotype. Conclusions This review shows that the majority of exon 51 "skip-equivalent" deletions result in milder (BMD) phenotypes and supports that exon 51 skipping therapy could provide clinical benefit, although we acknowledge that other factors, such as age at treatment initiation or ongoing standard of care, may influence the degree of benefit.
