Chapters & learning objectives
1. What We Know Now
The chapter will provide foundational background information to enhance the participants' understanding of DMD. Signs and symptoms of this disease will be detailed and the process of differential diagnosis reviewed. The most common medications and supplements will be covered.
2. Identified Biomarkers
Identified biomarkers have helped to further our understanding of this disease and monitor disease progression. Selected biomarkers have been developed and are emerging as outcome measures in research.
