In the dystrophin gene, and in most of human genes, this genetic information is not contiguous.

在肌营养不良蛋白基因，在人类基因大多数，这种遗传信息不连续的。

The dystrophin gene is found on the X chromosome and passed on to children through a mother who is a carrier.

It is important to note, however, that different mutations in the dystrophin gene could require different oligonucleotide drugs.

重要的是要注意，不过，在不同的肌营养不良基因突变可能需要不同的寡核苷酸药物。

It works because many cases of muscular dystrophy are caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene (incidentally, one of the longest genes in the body) that make the entire genetic code for the protein shift by one letter.

Duchenne is caused by misspellings in the gene that tells the body to produce a protein called dystrophin, a glue that helps hold muscle tissue together.
