The verdict comes as a surprise, as the drug watchword had earlier in 2016 approved Sarepta's Exondys 51 injection for DMD patients who have confirmed mutation of dystrophin gene amenable to exon 51 skipping, which affects about 13% of the population with DMD.
In this study two rare, missense variants were detected as compound heterozygous state in the WDR62 gene of these patients results as c.797C>T, exon 7 (Ala266Val) and c.1102G>A, exon 9 (Asp368Asn) and these mutation leading to the typical MCPH2 MIM 604317 phenotype in Saudi family.
Of the two variants, one is a novel missense variant in exon 4 (c.349G>A, p.Gly117Arg), and the other was a novel nonsense variant in exon 10 (c.878C>A, p.Ser293 *).
