Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a genetic condition that causes progressive muscle weakness and wasting. It is an X-linked recessive disorder that occurs due to changes in the DMD gene ...

The Shanghai-based firm will test the gene therapy candidate in patients between 4 and 9 years old with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

McGill researchers discovered that K884, an experimental drug, enhances muscle stem cell repair in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Unlike gene therapies, K884 targets DMD-affected cells regardless ...

We hypothesize that Duchenne muscular dystrophy and autism spectrum disorder/pervasive developmental disorder co-occur with a greater than random frequency. In this study, we set out to reject the ...

Muscular dystrophy is most commonly diagnosed by examining a muscle biopsy, although for some forms of muscular dystrophy, genetic testing is sufficient. Dystrophic muscle biopsy samples show the ...
