A person may inherit the genetic changes responsible for muscular dystrophy. These genetic changes can also occur due to spontaneous genetic mutations. In either case, the disease is not preventable.
A study by Indiana University School of Medicine researchers sheds new light on the development and treatment of a rare form of muscular dystrophy. The study's findings were recently published in ...
Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy (PPMD), in partnership with the Foundation to Eradicate Duchenne (FED), today announced Representative Troy Balderson (OH-12), Senator Susan Collins (ME), ...
Individuals diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) face few treatment options. DMD is a progressive muscle weakness and degeneration with loss of contractibility caused by one of several ...
