INTERESTING FACT:
Muscular dystrophy happens almost exclusively in males.]]> 2019-03-10 21:40:59 UTC https://padlet.com/ymartinez19/MDexample/wish/339744665 CAUSES: The DMD gene has instructions for making the protein dystrophin. ymartinez19 https://padlet.com/ymartinez19/MDexample/wish/339746894 2019-03-10 21:58:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ymartinez19/MDexample/wish/339746894 FREQUENCY: ymartinez19 https://padlet.com/ymartinez19/MDexample/wish/339746963 1 in 3,500 to 1 in 5,000  newborn males are born with MD worldwide each year.
This is the same as .0002-.0003 percent of males born worldwide will have MD.]]> 2019-03-10 21:58:53 UTC https://padlet.com/ymartinez19/MDexample/wish/339746963 INHERITANCE PATTERN: X-Linked Recessive ymartinez19 https://padlet.com/ymartinez19/MDexample/wish/339748903 The damaged gene (with a mutation) is located on X chromosome. Males that inherit this gene from their mothers will have the disease. ]]> 2019-03-10 22:16:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ymartinez19/MDexample/wish/339748903 CAUSES: Dystrophin causes damage to skeletal and cardiac muscle fibers. "The damaged fibers weaken and die over time, leading to the muscle weakness and heart problems characteristic of Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophies." ymartinez19 https://padlet.com/ymartinez19/MDexample/wish/339753276 2019-03-10 22:45:39 UTC https://padlet.com/ymartinez19/MDexample/wish/339753276 ymartinez19 https://padlet.com/ymartinez19/MDexample/wish/339753846 2019-03-10 22:50:03 UTC https://padlet.com/ymartinez19/MDexample/wish/339753846 Story ymartinez19 https://padlet.com/ymartinez19/MDexample/wish/340036697 Details about person with disease.]]> 2019-03-11 16:11:54 UTC https://padlet.com/ymartinez19/MDexample/wish/340036697
