Genomic insights into Duchene muscular dystrophy: Analysis of 1250 patients reveals 30% novel genetic patterns and 6 novel variants

Abstract excerpt

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD/BMD) is the most common type of muscular dystrophy, together with Becker muscular dystrophy represent more than half of all cases. DMD is a single-gene, X-linked recessive disorder that predominantly affects boys, causing progressive muscle deterioration and eventually leading to fatal cardiopulmonary complications. This study aimed to implement a cost-effective molecular...
