What is Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Overview about?
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a severe genetic disorder caused by mutations in the DMD gene on the X chromosome, leading to progressive muscle degeneration primarily in boys. Symptoms typically begin between ages 2 and 5, with significant muscle weakness and loss of mobility by age 10-12, while treatments focus on slowing progression and improving quality of life. Genetic counseling and prenatal testing are important for families affected by DMD.
