An experimental RNA therapy from Avidity Biosciences has early clinical trial results showing it reduced by half the expression of a gene at the root of a rare, inherited form of muscular dystrophy ...

Congenital muscular dystrophy (CMD) is a disease that affects certain muscles. Individuals with CMD may experience symptoms such as muscle weakness and joint problems. “Congenital” means present since ...

Muscular dystrophy, known as DMD, is a rare and fatal genetic disease that primarily affects boys, slowly robbing them of their ability to walk, breathe and live independently. Until now, there have ...

"High clinical suspicion is important for this population of patients. Since muscular dystrophy is progressive in nature, monitoring disease progression in these patients is critical for timing ...

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a genetic condition that causes progressive muscle weakness and wasting. It is an X-linked recessive disorder that occurs due to changes in the DMD gene, which ...

Delandistrogene moxeparvovec, a gene therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), showed high dystrophin expression and a favorable safety profile in young patients. Delandistrogene moxeparvovec ...

A new 3D model shows that Duchenne gene therapy can repair muscle fibers but fails to shut down the signals that drive scarring.
