[hebasagban]

Excellent!

[popstar27430]

I think my friend (a boy) has this,well he did say he had a disease. and i'm pretty sure he has this.

[bubbleslovesensation]

I love brain pop

[iTzFaTaLzOMG]

I have the app

[walterW1234]

I don't know, I find it kinda such serious disease is presented in a such light hearted manner. Having DMD, is basically a death sentence, most people will not live past their 20's. And all of them will be confined into a wheelchair.

[ClubYourFace10]

I love these guys, I watch em at science class and in Music class!

[lemmesleep4]

i mis s theses niggas

[dinahmanatee]

I have it and I'm a girl with polio. SHIT.

[ArtsyBayb]

omg im a girl and i think i have it :s

[coolamoola65]

there is world of trivia challenge do you best and see if your school does it it helps raise money for muscular dystrophy

[FallOutBoyMusic2011]

wtf

[TheKatythecat]

mcwoodside change a pasword. . .help?

[myipodvids1999]

Lol I watch these at school all the time XD

[popstar27430]

@MrHaloGuy1000 Me too!

[suwakee]

Why is it rare for girls???

[ParentProjectMD]

@suwakee Hi Suwakee,

Duchenne occurs almost exclusively in boys because the Duchenne gene (dystrophin) is found on the X-chromosome. Young men have one each of the X- and Y-chromosomes, whereas girls have two X-chromosomes. Young men are therefore at greater risk of inheriting disorders caused by damaged genes on the X-chromosome, since they lack a second X-chromosome to “make up” for the damaged gene.

[aylacruzisawsome]

@ParentProjectMD thank you

[amio1995]

@ParentProjectMD that souds bit strange. When you have two X-chromosomes the risk is twice the risk of the chromosome. Why is the risk bigger for young men?

[Marty88McFly1]

@amio1995 Chromosomes are like puzzle pieces coming together when they form a new person. you have a men have y-x and women have x-x chromosomes. the y is what makes men men but everyone gets a x from their mother. For women I think the other x factors out the possibility of them contracting MD but they can still pass MD onto their sons. For men I think the y-chromosome acts like a catchers mit for MD and they contract it when they receive the MD x-chromosome from their mother.

[Marty88McFly1]

@suwakee It's a bit complicating to understand but the reason it's so rare for girls is because MD is an x-chromosome transmitted disease. The y-chromosome comes from dad and the x-chromosome is always passed from mother to son. This is why it's almost always boys who contract MD. The girl has a 50% chance of carrying the disease and the boy has a 50% chance of contracting it. This is also why girls are the only ones who can pass the disease on to their sons.

search MARIA DONADIO she has an amazing story

[GlowyKangaroo]

@slimsk23

no! moby is awesome >:(

you are annoying!

[elliejeannx]

my little brother has duchenne, hes so brave :) x

[Qkumber1]

PINGAS

[cooldit1]

@Qkumber1 Unnecessary!

[khayztin]

oh by the way... There was a misinformation about who can get this disorder, ONLY males can get this b/c it's sex linked recessive disorder. Females can only be carriers, and will never manifest the disorder.

[xrockxandxrollxbabyx]

@khayztin

actually females can get it. both parents can have the disease if their parents had both recessive genes. and they both have X chromosomes so yeah a female can get it; but its RARE like the video said

[cooldit1]

@khayztin Sometimes girls can get it...rare though.

[jskproductions1]

@khayztin Females can get it.  If both parents had DMS she would inherit it because both her X chromosomes would carry the disorder. Very very very rare but possible.

[walterW1234]

@khayztin Carrier females can also show symptoms of muscular dystrophy, because of random X-chromosome inactivation. Even though females have 2 x-chromosomes, one of them need to be inactivated to produce the normal amount of proteins. If by chance, the X-Chromsome carrying the wild type allele for dystrophin is inactivated, while the diseased allele remains activated, then the female can also show the same muscular dystrophy symptoms.

[khayztin]

that was fun to watch! thank you I learned a lot in 4 minutes

[MegaSPIdr]

Subscribe to my channel for a sub back! =D and Lol =) Great video!!

[sacramenteens]

I LOVE BRAINPOP!

[thebradybunchlover]

I stand on my toes a lot !!!! 8(

[Coolguy10890]

Aww thats sad

[rOsE24401]

My brother has DMD. And for all of you stupid idiots out there that are making mean comments saying oh yeah you can walk. Shut your freakin mouth.

[cooldit1]

@rOsE24401 So...that has happened to me. I used to walk in middle school, and im in high school and have been in a wheelchair since 9th grade. Some brave kid yelled as he went by in a car, "You can F**king walk!(" It made me upset. I didn't let it stay in my head though...the kid is just stupid and knows not what he's talking about. Adults have asked me if i need my chair or if im just playing around. I just ask them "are you stupid or are you just playing" =P

[pwnerranger]

@cooldit1 I have it to i have a wheel chair because my family are afraid i'll get pushed down in the halls. 6th graders always whisper to them selvs ... "but he can walk". It really annoys me owell i gusse i just have to deal what i have. But i can still walk

[LuvsGalaga]

@pwnerranger God, that's really mean. A lot of kids just take things for granted so don't let it bother you. What keeps me going is that I know there's actual people who aren't that immature and do genuinely care, hope they leave ya alone

[SnipeCakeProductions]

I have Type-2 MD and I'm from the USA

[aglynn1]

Thank you so much!!! Love it.

[loloxinhaa]

very cool video!! helped me a lot understand the disease! thanks

[crayonmantos]

i have dmd and im from the uk

[loisa008]

this is our case study all about..^^,

nice video..

[kinarak]

nice vid. i have bmd

[Adamus70]

I can inform you, that everyone can help finding a cure for

Muscular Dystrophy. Please write BOINC or worldcommunitygrid into the search field of Youtube or any search engine to get further information.

Installing the Programm BOINC on your homecomputer, you donate unused computer capacity to researchers. One of the projects is about dmd. Please note that this is fundametal research. So, a cure cannot be expected too soon, unfortunately. BOINC is safe and has been working several years now.

[kinarak]

nice video. i have BMD. research is key!!!

[tomguelph]

that person was yanked into the room...

[yuriworld123456]

dude this disease relly suck im only 12 and my 16 year old brother ides last week because he had this disease it really suck he was in a wheelchair and has a lo of other health problens to like bipolar and fatty liver this diease it suckish

[vampirelover12341]

so sory to hear that yuri

[ckaggs]

Thnx for posting-helped me understand DMD.

[ext8023]

Thx for posting this vid. Learns a lot from it.

[bakuganlover375]

AKA Bella Swan

[Joelomite]

I have to do a presentation on DMD in about a month. This video helps explain a lot. It must be tough for kids who have it.

[ShakSaa]

@Joelomite i have it thats great u are doin a presentation

[CheyenneTheBee]

Both of my brothers have it. A lot of people are helping us by raising money for our house. It is honestly very hard for us to go to places. Some people are very mean to them and stare at the and say hurtful things to them. Some day-if there is no cure to DMD- I am gonna be a DMD scientist/researcher and I wanna be the one to find the cure. Unless someone else finds it first though. That would be OK too.

[fff7224]

my brother have DMD too but there is no cure for genetic disease i will not stop research

god help us

[ShakSaa]

@fff7224 i have dmd too

[vampirelover12341]

as do i

[ShakSaa]

@CheyenneTheBee i know how u feel :(

[97airwolf]

[azgh1]

cool again

[azgh1]

cooo

[azgh1]

cool i meant to type

[kiribaker]

im 12 my brother is five and was diagnosed with dmd and doesnt even know it

[mrlukedelia]

I've known since I was 4...no big deal...people living with DMD are living a long time now. I'm 17 :-)

[97airwolf]

@mrlukedelia no now ur 18 LOL!

[vampirelover12341]

i have duchenne and so im in a wheelchair btw i am getting a power chair in a few months ps check out my response to a youtube poop talking about the mda (muscular dystrophy association). im a spokesperson for it

[WWEIndependentVideos]

ive got BM, Bethlem myopathy, im scared stiff about having a operation on my achilles tendon to realese it, i might have to go in a wheelchair. im only 13

[Kahurtado]

hello

[vampirelover12341]

yeah

[vampirelover12341]

no their not

[MUSICWORLDWIDETV]

because thats scarey why would you want to tell somebody they have muscular dystrophy.

[cooldit1]

so they know they have it...That would be a terrible secret to keep. I have DMD anyway.

[vampirelover12341]

cuz toddlers watch this duh

[shimshutian]

so great video

[jmen]
