This disorder is more seen in males ]]> 2019-03-12 18:08:27 UTC https://padlet.com/s80215/jluy9jhxbc64/wish/340563930 Causes s80215 https://padlet.com/s80215/jluy9jhxbc64/wish/341903584 The causes of Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a mutation in the DMD gene. The DMD gene provides instructions for making  protein called dystrophin.

This protein is located primarily in skeletal and cardiac muscle 

Mutations in the DMD gene prevent any functional dystrophin from being produced. Muscle cells without enough of this protein become damaged. The damaged fibers and die over time, leading to the muscle weakness]]> 2019-03-15 18:58:12 UTC https://padlet.com/s80215/jluy9jhxbc64/wish/341903584 Story s80215 https://padlet.com/s80215/jluy9jhxbc64/wish/341908363 Details about person with disease. ]]> 2019-03-15 19:12:22 UTC https://padlet.com/s80215/jluy9jhxbc64/wish/341908363 Muscular Dystrophy s80215 https://padlet.com/s80215/jluy9jhxbc64/wish/344994064 TYPE: GENE BASED
