ATTENTION Masons, family and friends!
Join us for ‘Drive for Duchenne: Cars, Community, and a Cure’.
What is Duchenne’s?
Description:
In the early stages, Duchenne muscular dystrophy affects the shoulder and upper arm muscles and the muscles of the hips and thighs. These weaknesses lead to difficulty in rising from the floor, climbing stairs, maintaining balance and raising the arms. Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a genetic disorder characterized by progressive muscle degeneration and weakness due to the alterations of a protein called dystrophin that helps keep muscle cells intact. DMD is one of four conditions known as dystrophinopathies.
Duchenne’s muscular dystrophy symptoms onset is in early childhood, usually between ages 2 and 3. The disease primarily affects boys, but in rare cases it can affect girls.
