WHAT DOES DUCHENNE MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Duchenne muscular dystrophy

Duchenne muscular dystrophy

Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a recessive X-linked form of muscular dystrophy, affecting around 1 in 3,600 boys, which results in muscle degeneration and eventual death. The disorder is caused by a mutation in the dystrophin gene, the largest gene located on the human X chromosome, which codes for the protein dystrophin, an important structural component within muscle tissue that provides structural stability to the dystroglycan complex of the cell membrane. While both sexes can carry the mutation, females rarely exhibit signs of the disease. Symptoms usually appear in male children before age 6 and may be visible in early infancy. Even though symptoms do not appear until early infancy, laboratory testing can identify children who carry the active mutation at birth. Progressive proximal muscle weakness of the legs and pelvis associated with a loss of muscle mass is observed first. Eventually this weakness spreads to the arms, neck, and other areas. Early signs may include pseudohypertrophy, low endurance, and difficulties in standing unaided or inability to ascend staircases.
