Researchers across the globe have utilized various animal models to study DMD. The most common animal model used to study therapeutics for DMD is the mdx mouse owing to its low cost and easy accessibility. The mdx mouse‚ has a nonsense mutation in exon 23 of the Dmd gene that leads to complete loss of the dystrophin protein 12‚ 13. The mdx mouse model of DMD is not considered an ideal model for understanding the pathogenesis of DMD owing to significant differences in physiology from humans and
