Symptoms: Symptoms normally begin in childhood and include frequent falls, having trouble getting up from a lying or sitting position, trouble running or jumping, walking on toes, muscle pain and stiffness, large calf muscles, learning disability, etc.

Treatment: There is no cure unfortunately

Cause: DMD occurs when a person has mutation in the gene that makes dystopian(a protein that protects muscle tissue)

Interesting Fact about the disease: Males have one copy of DMD gene while females have two copies of the gene, if a male has the mutation in that one copy they get the disease. But if a female gets the mutation in one of their copies, they don’t typically get it.
