Abstract excerpt
Abnormal dystrophin production due to mutations in the dystrophin gene causes Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). Cases demonstrate considerable genetic and disease progression variability. It is unclear if specific gene mutations are prognostic of outcomes in this population. We conducted a retrospective cohort study of DMD patients followed at 17 centers across the USA and Canada from 2005 to 2015 with goal of...
