Translarna is indicated for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy resulting from a nonsense mutation in the dystrophin gene, in ambulatory patients aged 2 years and older. Efficacy has not been demonstrated in non-ambulatory patients. The presence of a nonsense mutation in the dystrophin gene should be determined by genetic testing.
