SO I'm guessing, it might be because more than one codon could've been deleted, and thus make the symptoms more severe

How does the lyon hypothesis effect duchenne muscular dystrophy?
The Lyon hypothesis states that one X chromosome in females is randomly inactivated during early development, leading to mosaicism. In the case of Duchenne muscular dystrophy, if the X chromosome carrying the mutation is inactivated in a female carrier, she may exhibit less severe symptoms due to the presence of the normal X chromosome. This mosaicism can result in varying degrees of disease severity among female carriers.
