Dystrophin is a vital protein that helps muscles stay strong and protected as they contract and relax.
For people with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), a genetic mutation prevents the body from making usable dystrophin. Without it, muscles become more vulnerable to damage and grow progressively weaker over time.
Because the heart is a muscle and muscles also help support the lungs, the impact of Duchenne goes beyond mobility, it can lead to serious health challenges as the condition progresses.
