International audience. Dysferlinopathies are rare genetic diseases affecting muscles due to mutations in DYSF. Exon 32 of DYSF has been shown to be dispensable for dysferlin functions. Here we present a method to visualize the skipping of exon 32 at the RNA and protein levels using an antisense oligonucleotide on cells derived from a dysferlinopathy-affected patient.
