Aims:
The project aims to raise awareness of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) and to increase the visibility of the needs in this regard.
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) muscle disease is carried by the X chromosome in humans. It is the most common muscle disease. It is also the second most common genetic disease and is seen only in boys.
