DMD is a relentlessly progressive, fatal, genetic disorder Debilitating X-linked genetic disorder leading to death in early adulthood1 in every 3,500-5,000 live male births with ~13% caused by nonsense mutations1-7Caused by the lack of dystrophin protein due to mutations that prevent its production 61. van RuitenHJ,etal.ArchDis Child. 2014;99:1074–1077. 2.

DMD follows well-established clinical progression7 Patient age:10 years15years20years Loss of ambulation Loss of upper limb function Pulmonary failure Cardiac failure Impaired ability to hop, run, jump, rise

Goemans, Nathalie et al. “New Perspectives in the Management of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.” European neurological review 9 (2014): 78. DMD pathology results from lack of full-length dystrophin•Dystrophin connects the cytoskeleton to extracellular matrix and is critical during muscle contractions•Muscles lacking dystrophin are more susceptible to damage•Damaged dystrophin is replaced by fatty and connective tissue•Dystrophin restoration is expected to prevent muscle damage 8
