What is Understanding Myopathies and DMD about?
Myopathies are diseases of muscle that account for about 10% of neurological issues, with both inherited and acquired forms. Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a severe inherited myopathy characterized by progressive muscle weakness and absence of dystrophin, leading to significant disability and early mortality. Diagnosis involves elevated serum creatine kinase levels and muscle biopsy, while management focuses on supportive care and genetic counseling, as there is currently no cure for DMD.
