Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD)

The First Step in Family Planning

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is an inherited X-linked neuromuscular disorder caused by mutations in the DMD gene, resulting in the absence or deficiency of dystrophin, a protein essential for normal muscle function.

Genetic testing plays a critical role in identifying the underlying mutation responsible for DMD and in helping to reduce the risk of transmission to future generations through informed reproductive planning.

Approximately 70% of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) cases are caused by large deletions in the DMD gene, while approximately 15% result from duplications. At our center, MLPA analysis is performed to accurately and simultaneously detect these disease-causing genomic alterations.
