Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), an X-linked genetic disorder characterized by progressive muscle weakness and atrophies affecting skeletal and cardiac muscles, is caused by mutations in dystrophin (DMD) gene that spans 79 exons. Here, we generated iPSCs from a Chinese patient with 49-50 exons deletion in DMD gene by reprogramming peripheral blood mononuclear cells with non-integrating vectors. The generated iPSCs line (SDQLCHi007-A) carrying the identical deletion of 49-50 exons, expresses pluripotency markers, presents a normal karyotype and is able to differentiate into three germ layers.

Objective: The objective of this study was to describe predictors of loss of ambulation in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD).
Methods: This systematic review and meta-analysis included searches of MEDLINE ALL, Embase, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews from January 1, 2000, to December 31, 2022, for predictors of loss of ambulation in DMD. Search terms included "Duchenne muscular dystrophy" as a Medical Subject Heading or free text term, in combination with variations of the term "predictor".

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked recessive disorder with defect in dystrophin gene that shows features of degeneration of muscle tissue at an early age. Here, we describe iPSC lines generated from LCL of two patients of Indian origin carrying 46-48 and 49-50 exons deletions in DMD. The resulting iPSC lines IGIBi006-A and IGIBi008-A showed all the characteristic features of pluripotency, differentiated into cells of three germ layers in vitro and have no major genetic alterations due to reprogramming process.

Exon skipping using short antisense oligonucleotides (AONs) is a promising treatment for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Several exon-skipping drugs, including viltolarsen (NS-065/NCNP-01), have been approved worldwide. Immortalized human skeletal muscle cell lines, such as rhabdomyosarcoma cells, are frequently used to screen efficient oligonucleotide sequences.

Deletions in Plasmodium falciparum histidine rich protein 2(pfhrp2) gene threaten the usefulness of the most widely used HRP2-based malaria rapid diagnostic tests (mRDTs) that cross react with its structural homologue, PfHRP3. Parasites with deleted pfhrp2/3 genes remain undetected and untreated due to 'false-negative' RDT results. As Ethiopia recently launched malaria elimination by 2030 in certain selected areas, the availability of RDTs and the scale of their use have rapidly increased in recent years.
