-1.jpg)
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is caused by a lack of dystrophin, a protein that aids in the maintenance of muscle cells. Symptoms usually appear in early childhood, between the ages of 3 and 5. The disease primarily affects boys but can also affect girls in rare cases. Because the gene that can carry a DMD-causing mutation is on the X chromosome, DMD is inherited in an X-linked pattern. Mutations in the DMD gene cause progressive muscle weakness, loss of independent ambulation by early adolescence, and premature death from cardiorespiratory complications. The global DMD prevalence was 7.1 cases per 100,000 males and 2.8 cases per 100,000 in the general population, while the global DMD birth prevalence was 19.8 per 100,000 live male births.
