Duchenne myopathy is an inherited disease that affects the muscles and can lead to muscle weakness and even paralysis. This disease is caused by a mutation in the gene that produces the dystrophin protein. Duchenne myopathy appears in early childhood and usually begins with weakness in the muscles of the legs and arms. Over time, muscles become weaker and weaker and can lead to complete loss of function. Treatment for Duchenne myopathies includes various methods such as physical therapy, massage, exercise therapy and medication. However, despite all efforts, the disease progresses and can lead to disability. It is important to note that Duchenne myopathy is a rare disease, but it can be diagnosed in anyone who has a genetic predisposition to the disease. Therefore, if you have close relatives with this disease, you should be careful and monitor the health of your children in order to identify symptoms in time.
