Muscular Dystrophy - What is Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy?

Muscular dystrophy is an inherited disease. Different muscular dystrophies follow various inheritance patterns. The best-known type, Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), is inherited in an X-linked recessive pattern, meaning that the mutated gene that causes the disorder is located on the X chromosome, one of the two sex chromosomes, and is thus considered sex-linked. This condition is much more common in males than in females. Ref. Source 4

Human 'chimeric' cells restore crucial protein in Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Cells made by fusing a normal human muscle cell with a muscle cell from a person with Duchenne muscular dystrophy -- a rare but fatal form of muscular dystrophy -- were able to significantly improve muscle function when implanted into the muscles of a mouse model of the disease.
