The Duchenne Registry for Duchenne and Becker Muscular Dystrophy

The Duchenne Registry is an online registry for individuals with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD), and female carriers. This registry helps connect patients with clinical trials and research studies, and provides education about care and research for these conditions. It also serves as a valuable resource for researchers by providing de-identified (anonymous) patient information, which is crucial for advancing treatments. The main goal is to track genetic variants (changes in genes) over a person's lifetime, with updates requested every 6-12 months. You can join if you have a diagnosis of Duchenne or Becker muscular dystrophy, or if you are a manifesting or asymptomatic female carrier.

Study design
This is an observational study, meaning it collects information without testing a specific intervention. It aims to enroll 10,000 participants.
What's involved
You would be asked to update your medical history every 6-12 months.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Participants will be followed throughout their lifetime.

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion

Diagnosis of Duchenne or Becker muscular dystrophy; Manifesting female carriers and asymptomatic female carriers also included in registry.

Exclusion

Diagnosis of any other type of muscular dystrophy (including limb-girdle muscular dystrophy).
  • Genetic variantRegistrants are requested to update their medical history every 6-12 months, and they will be followed throughout their lifetime.

    Genetic variant data is collected by patient report and verified by curation/review of genetic test report when provided. Genetic test report is requested for each registrant and is required for participation in global DMD (TREAT-NMD) registry.
