- Duchenne muscular dystrophy - Wikipedia
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is extremely rare in females (about 1 in 50,000,000 female births) [6] It can occur in females with an affected father and a carrier mother, in those who are missing an X chromosome, or in those who have an inactivated X chromosome (the most common of the rare reasons) [25]

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a condition that causes skeletal and heart muscle weakness that quickly gets worse with time Symptoms usually begin by age 6
- Understanding Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) | Duchenne. com
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a rare, genetic condition that is characterized by progressive muscle damage and weakness Sometimes shortened to DMD or Duchenne, this rare disease is caused by a genetic mutation that prevents the body from producing a protein called dystrophin

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a rare muscle weakening disease that mostly affects boys Learn about the causes, symptoms, treatment, and other parts of managing DMD
- What is Duchenne? What is Duchenne
Duchenne is classified under muscular dystrophies, genetic diseases marked by muscle weakness, with Duchenne being notably the most severe due to the absence of dystrophin, a protein essential for muscle integrity
- Duchenne muscular dystrophy | About the Disease | GARD
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) affects the muscles, leading to muscle wasting that gets worse over time DMD occurs primarily in males, though in rare cases may affect females The symptoms of DMD include progressive weakness and loss (atrophy) of both skeletal and heart muscle
- Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy - Johns Hopkins Medicine
Duchenne muscular dystrophy, or DMD, is associated with the most severe clinical symptoms of all the muscular dystrophies It is caused by a genetic mutation on one of the mother’s X chromosomes, and researchers have identified some of the affected genes
- Duchenne muscular dystrophy - Penn Medicine
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is caused by a defective gene for dystrophin (a protein in the muscles) However, it often occurs in people without a known family history of the condition The condition most often affects boys due to the way the disease is inherited
