  • PCT 124 is very promising, but it's only going to work on 10-15%, the ones with a certain mutation of it. It's actually showing results already, reports of increased stamina and endurance in muscles.

    I'm so thankful that my DMD isn't as severe as some of these guys, that poor guy is now a quad! I'm 22 and only developed cadiomyopathy 2 years ago and only been on bi-pap for a year, most start getting those problems at 14/15. My brother is 24 and about the same level, without heart problems.

  • They do no research on mg its a very rare type of muscular dystrophy. My immune system irritates the motor nuerons. When i have an episode all i can do is go to bed. Its not fatal or disabling

  • how can some one dislike this video. i dont know anyone with this horrible disease but i am 100% devoted to helping children have the best quality of life possible. I grew up with other problems and I wouldn't wish that on any other child in the world. lets stand together and cure duchenne!

  • No, but its really rare for a girl to have it. She either had to have been a carrier and a mutation occured or her dad had it and mother was carrier.

  • Due to the mechanism by which most Duchenne cases are inherited, males are the vast majority of sufferers. If the genetic mutation occurs randomly (rather than being inherited from a parent) then it is possible for a female to suffer from the disorder.

  • I guess my 26 y old sister sufeer this DMD. Does this desiase sufferd by boys only?

  • cheak out my dmd video

  • take a look at my DMD video - inspired by cure duchenne.
