What is another word for exon skipping?
Pronunciation: [ɛɡzˈɒn skˈɪpɪŋ] (IPA) 
Exon skipping refers to a technique in genetic engineering aimed at modifying DNA to eliminate specific portions of genetic code that may cause certain diseases. While exon skipping is the commonly used term for this process, there are several other synonyms being used, including gene splicing, targeted drug delivery, and alternative splicing. Other terms like antisense oligonucleotide therapy, spliceosome modulation, and pre-mRNA splicing correction are also used in scientific literature to describe the same process. These synonyms all refer to the process of manipulating gene expression by removing specific exons or introns, which can be beneficial for treating genetic disorders such as muscular dystrophy, cystic fibrosis, and spinal muscular atrophy.
