| Abstract: | This article reviews the clinical application of gentamicin treatment for nonsense mutations. Since gentamicin is applied only for Duchenne muscular dystrophy caused by a nonsense mutation, genetic diagnosis of DMD is reviewed. Of the two reports describing gentamicin treatment of DMD, one concluded it to be effective, and the other to be ineffective. |
