U.S., Feb. 28 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07435116) titled 'Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and the Viscoelastic Properties of Upper Limb Muscles' on Feb. 18.
Brief Summary: Muscular dystrophies are hereditary and progressive skeletal muscle diseases that cause degeneration and loss of strength in the muscles. The most common form is Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), which is X-linked recessive and develops due to a mutation in the dystrophin gene. Dystrophin is a membrane protein found in skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, vascular smooth muscle, and the brain, functioning as a component of the glycoprotein complex. In the absence of dystrophin, proteases break down the glycoprotein complex, res...
