Exon is a brand that specializes in providing support and information for individuals and families affected by Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy. These are genetic diseases caused by a mutation in the dystrophin gene, which is essential for muscle function. Exon aims to educate and raise awareness about these conditions, offering a range of articles and resources in both English and Hebrew.

Duchenne muscular dystrophy is the more severe form, while Becker muscular dystrophy is milder. Symptoms include muscle weakness, limited mobility, and, in later stages, respiratory and cardiac complications. While the diseases primarily affect boys, there are also cases in girls.

Exon highlights the differences between Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy, as the production of dystrophin is either absent or partially functioning in affected individuals. With advancements in treatment options and research, Exon strives to improve the quality of life and life expectancy for individuals with these conditions
