P164: Adeno-Associated Viral Vectors in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (BMD) is an inherited X-link disease. The incidence of this muscle-wasting disease is 1:5000 male live births. Mutation in the gene coding for dystrophin is the main cause of BMD. Most cases of this disease succumb to respiratory and cardiac failure in 3rd to 4th decades. The slow progression of BMD and recent achievement of gene therapies make it as an appropriate c...

Detection of the Duplication in Exons 56-63 of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Patients with MLPA

Background Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a deadly X-linked recessive disorder. This genetic disorder affects 1 among 3,500-5,000 males in the world. The majority of the patients are male, due to the type of inheritance. It affects most of the skeletal, the respiratory, and cardiac muscles, causing these vital organs to contract and eventually mortality.<br...

Brain function in Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is the second most commonly occurring genetically inherited disease in humans. It is an X-linked condition that affects approximately one in 3300 live male births. It is caused by the absence or disruption of the protein dystrophin, which is found in a variety of tissues, most notably skeletal muscle and neurones in particular regions of the CNS. Clinically DMD...

Duchenne muscular dystrophy An overview of Duchenne muscular dystrophy

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) affects approximately 1 in 3,500 live male births [1]. It is caused by a large variety of mutations in the dystrophin gene. Because of these mutations, the body can no longer make dystrophin which is a protein important for stabilisation of the muscle cell during a contraction. Without dystrophin, muscle cells are damaged and slowly replaced by fat and scar tis...
